Subject: [RFC] qlcnic: Enhance ethtool to display board temperature.

From: Himanshu Madhani <himanshu.madhani@...gic.com>

We need to provide a mechanism for a user space application to query
adapter temperature. This RFC patch is to request input on which of the
following approach would be appropriate way to export this information.

Here are the two approaches that I am exploring. Please review and
provide your recommendation.

1. Enhance ethtool to add capability for driver to advertise its
   board temperature as part of "ethtool -i <ethX>"

    For example, following would be output for an interface which
    has board temperature field populated via ethtool

    "#ethtool -i p10p1"
    driver: qlcnic
    version: 5.2.44
    bus-info: 0000:08:00.0
    supports-statistics: yes
    supports-test: yes
    supports-eeprom-access: yes
    supports-register-dump: yes
    supports-priv-flags: no
    board-temperature: 34

    There will be update required for ethtool.c in the repository
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ethtool/ethtool.git
    maintained by Ben Hutchings.

    if we decide to go with ethtool modification approach, I will send
    patch to update ethtool repository. Attached patch at the end of this
    email is for driver implementation for this approach.

2. Add a sysfs hook "brd_temp" which will be used by the application
   to query board temperature specific to the particular interface

   for example, driver with "brd_temp" sysfs hook will show temperature

   "#cat /sys/class/net/p10p1/device/brd_temp"
   34

Thank you for the comments.
