(Part 2: drivers)
* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.
Tested by:
blymn: smsc(4).
bouyer: ipmi(4), mfi(4).
kefren: ug(4).
njoly: viaenv(4), adt7463.c.
riz: owtemp(4).
xtraeme: acpiacad(4), acpibat(4), acpitz(4), aiboost(4), it(4), lm(4).
gpioow(4), attaching a bit-banging driver via a GPIO pin. Also,
owtemp(4) which supports some of the 1-Wire temperature sensors, including
the DS18b20 and DS1920 - temperatures are returned via the envsys(4)
framework.
Original drivers by Alexander Yurchenko (grange@openbsd), with envsys(4)
support and a fix to the 1-wire search algorithm (for discovering
devices on the bus) by me.
As discussed on tech-kern earlier this week.
