Currently there is no method for setting the channel
value from the DTS file. When, the driver uses a dts
file to initialize the driver platform_data is not set.
As a the result channel variable may not be set correctly.
Without the channel variable set correctly, some of the
sensors will not be initialized correctly. For example
temp3 sensor sysfs entries.
This adds the required functionality to set the channel
variable from the DTS file. This is done via reading the
reading a property named "channel" from the lm87 driver.

Notes:
changes since v1:
Removed unncessary variables channel and np.
Update the code as per review comments.

Rob is the ultimate person to comment here, but I think the property description
by itself should be complete and technically independent of the implementation.
Documentation/hwmon/lm87 describes the implementation, so an (incomplete)
reference to it seems inappropriate.

Please move those property descriptions into the first patch. It is confusing
to have two patches touching the properties, and the first patch as it is right now
is really useless.

This ignores property value errors (-ENODATA, -EOVERFLOW).
Is this what you want ?

I do not see the file Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/lm87.txt in
Linux 4.8-rc7. I am guessing that it might already be in a tree headed
upstream. Can you point me to it?

That is configuration information, not hardware description.
Devicetree contains hardware description.
Hardware description would instead be a property that said what
is hooked up to the shared pins, eg temp3, fan1, fan2, VID, or
IRQ. The driver should know what value to place in channel for
each of the different cases.

Thanks Guenter for the reply, I'll update things as you suggested and send the patches back again. I'll try to get the documentation approved first and then send back the lm87 driver update patch.
Thanks,
Mahoda

Rob is the ultimate person to comment here, but I think the property description
by itself should be complete and technically independent of the implementation.
Documentation/hwmon/lm87 describes the implementation, so an (incomplete)
reference to it seems inappropriate.

Please move those property descriptions into the first patch. It is confusing
to have two patches touching the properties, and the first patch as it is right now
is really useless.

This ignores property value errors (-ENODATA, -EOVERFLOW).

Yes, please make the binding stand on its own. And please put all of the
binding in one patch. You're describing h/w, not adding s/w features.
As far as whether this is configuration or h/w description, it depends
on what defines the configuration. If it is fixed by the h/w design then
this is okay. If it is a user choice, then no it should not be in DT.
Seems like this would be the former case as probably temperature
measurement requires a thermistor or something.
