Here is a patch adding some text to the sysfs interface documentation on how
settings written to sysfs attributes should be handled, focussing mainly on
error handling. This version incorperates Jean's latest comments.

The documentation of the pwmN_enable interface file is not very clear,
and has been confusing several driver authors already. Make it clearer.

hwmon: Fault files naming convention

2007-07-19T18:22:12+00:00

We have the following naming convention documented in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for fault files:

in[0-*]_input_fault
fan[1-*]_input_fault
temp[1-*]_input_fault

Some drivers follow this convention (lm63, lm83, lm90, smsc47m192).
However some drivers omit the "input" part and create files named
fan1_fault (pc87427) or temp1_fault (dme1737). And the new "generic"
libsensors follows this second (non-standard) convention, so it fails
to report fault conditions for drivers which follow the standard.

We want a single naming scheme, and everyone seems to prefer the
shorter variant, so let's go for it.
