[PATCH] hwmon: (cros_ec): Hide unconfigured temperature thresholds
From: Daniel Schaefer via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 13:29:48 EST
From: Daniel Schaefer <dhs@xxxxxxxxxx>
The EC reports a threshold of 0 K for host thresholds that are not
configured. Most Framework Computer systems don't use all thresholds.
E.g. temp_host_warn is left unset and stays at its -273 C / 0 K
default), see the EC code in zephyr/shim/src/thermal.c:
DT_PROP_OR(node_id, temp_host_warn, -273)
Previously these unconfigured thresholds were exposed as sysfs limits
that read back as -273.15 C, which userspace (e.g. s-tui) interpreted as
a real, permanently-exceeded limit.
To avoid this we can hide the sysfs attribute for that threshold.
See truncated example below.
Before:
> sensors cros_ec-isa-000c
cpu_f75303@4d: +36.9°C (crit = +74.8°C, emerg = +84.8°C)
After:
> sensors cros_ec-isa-000c
cpu_f75303@4d: +36.9°C (high = -273.1°C, crit = +74.8°C)
(emerg = +84.8°C)
