The implementation details for SCPI seems to suggest that the sensor readings must be reported by SCP using a well defined scale (millidegree Celsius for temperature, millivolts for voltage, milliamperes for current, microwatts for power and microjoules for energy). This is also important for the interaction with other subsystems: for example both the thermal sub-system and the hwmon sysfs interface expect the temperature expressed in millidegree Celsius. Unfortunately since this behaviour is dependent on the firmware implementation there are cases where the sensor readings are reported using a different scale. For example in the Amlogic SoCs the temperature is reported in degree and not millidegree Celsius. To take into account this discrepancy and fixup the values reported by SCP a new compatible 'amlogic,meson-gxbb-scpi-sensors' is introduced and used in this patch by the scpi-hwmon driver to convert the sensor readings to the expected scale.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
