    hwmon: Fault files naming convention · 7817a39e
    Jean Delvare authored
    We have the following naming convention documented in
    Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for fault files:
    
    in[0-*]_input_fault
    fan[1-*]_input_fault
    temp[1-*]_input_fault
    
    Some drivers follow this convention (lm63, lm83, lm90, smsc47m192).
    However some drivers omit the "input" part and create files named
    fan1_fault (pc87427) or temp1_fault (dme1737). And the new "generic"
    libsensors follows this second (non-standard) convention, so it fails
    to report fault conditions for drivers which follow the standard.
    
    We want a single naming scheme, and everyone seems to prefer the
    shorter variant, so let's go for it.
