Let's document what has been done so far for DTS and FSP sensors in
the device tree under node ibm,opal/sensors/

+ibm,opal/sensors/ device tree nodes
+--------------------------------------
+
+All sensors of a POWER8 system are made available to the OS in the
+ibm,opal/sensors/ directory. Each sensor is identified with a node
+which name follows this pattern :
+
+ <resource class name>@<resource identifier>/
+
+For example :
+
+ amb-temp at 6000/
+ cooling-fan at 2100/
+ cooling-fan at 2101/
+ ...
+ core-temp at 20/
+ mem-temp at 1/
+ ...
+ power-supply at 1000/
+ power-supply at 1001/
+
+Each node has a minimum set of properties describing the sensor :
+
+ - a "compatible" property which should be "ibm,opal-sensor"
+
+ - a "sensor-type" property, which can be "temp", "fan", "power".
+ More will be added when new resources are supported. This type
+ is used "as is" by the Linux driver to map sensors in the sysfs
+ interface of the hwmon framework of Linux.
+
+ - a "sensor-data" property giving a unique handler for the
+ OPAL_SENSOR_READ call to be used by Linux to get the value of
+ a sensor attribute. A sensor handler has the following encoding :
+
+ | Attr. | Res. | Resource |
+ | Number | Class | Id |
+ |--------|--------|----------------|
+
+ - a "sensor-status" property giving the state of the sensor. The
+ status bits have the slightly meanings depending on the resource
+ type but testing against 0x6 should raise an alarm.
+
+ - an optional "label" property
+
+
+Each node can have some extra properties depending on the resource
+they represent. See the tree below for more information.
