Makes sense. Applied.

Sorry, I think there is some confusion. AMD SoC is a 'remote sensor',
or the client, whereas the device using the SB-TSI hwmon driver is the
master.
In industry, a typical scenario is ARM-based Board Management
Controllers (BMCs) using SB-TSI to monitor the host CPU temperature.

Ah, good point. I'll drop this patch.

Thanks for the explanation!

Agreed.

The AMD SB Temperature Sensor Interface (SB-TSI) is only present on AMD
X86 SoCs. Hence add a dependency on X86, to prevent asking the user
about this driver when configuring a kernel without AMD X86 platform
support.

If you say yes here you get support for emulated temperature
sensors on AMD SoCs with SB-TSI interface connected to a BMC device.
