Enable/Disable some sensors when Host On/Off

[Thu Ba Nguyen]

Thanks for your reply Matt Spinler,

Can you show me the discussion threads?

I also thought about the solution for that features:
In the current hwmon we support GPIOCHIP + GPIO option which used to enable
sensors to read. In the hwmon code, we just set that pin and wait before
reading.
I think we can support a similar option named GPIOENABLE + GPIOV. When the
status of Gpio pin defind in GPIOEANBLE match with GPIOV.
That sensors will be read and update to Dbus.
If not it will be removed from DBus until the GPIO pin math GPIOV.
Maybe we can have many different solutions.

If you don't mind, can you tell me how IBM supports that features?

Regards.
Thu Nguyen.
