Linux 6.10 Hardware Monitoring Includes New Lenovo ThinkStation Driver
The hardware monitoring 'HWMON' subsystem changes for the Linux 6.10 kernel include enabling monitoring of more all-in-one liquid coolers for CPUs, a new driver for exposing monitoring on Lenovo ThinkStation workstations, and other new monitoring capabilities.
New to HWMON in Linux 6.10 is a Lenovo ThinkStation embedded controller (EC) driver that can be enabled via the new SENSORS_LENOVO_EC Kconfig option. This enables exposing the EC sensor data under HWMON for getting the current/max fan speeds as well as CPU, DIMM, and other thermal information for those using a newer Lenovo workstation. The Dell-SMM hardware monitoring driver meanwhile added support for the Dell Precision 7540 and G5 5505 systems.
