+OPAL_SENSOR_READ
+----------------
+
+The OPAL sensor call reads a sensor data using a unique handler to
+identity the targeted sensor.
+
+
+This call can be asynchronous, when a message needs to be sent to a
+service processor for example.  In this case, the call will return
+OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION and the token parameter will be used to wait for
+the completion of the request.
+
+
+Parameters:
+	uint32_t sensor_handler
+	int	 token
+	uint32_t *sensor_data
+
+
+Return values:
+	OPAL_SUCCESS
+	OPAL_PARAMETER - invalid sensor handler
+
+in case of communication with the FSP on IBM systems
+
+	OPAL_ASYNC_COMPLETION - a request was sent and an async completion will
+		be triggered with the @token argument
+	OPAL_PARTIAL - the request completed but the data returned is invalid
+	OPAL_BUSY_EVENT - a previous request is still pending
+	OPAL_NO_MEM - allocation failed
+	OPAL_INTERNAL_ERROR - communication failure with the FSP
+	OPAL_HARDWARE - FSP is not available
