[PATCH] hwmon: (aht10) Add support for dht20

From: Akhilesh Patil
Date: Sun Nov 02 2025 - 04:43:53 EST


Add support for dht20 temperature and humidity sensor from Aosong.
Modify aht10 driver to handle different init command for dht20 sensor by
adding init_cmd entry in the driver data. dht20 sensor is compatible with
aht10 hwmon driver with this change.

Tested on TI am62x SK board with dht20 sensor connected at i2c-2 port.
