This removes the EAGAIN return for "sensor not ready" and the temperature
fault and vrm temp alarms attributes.

Apologies for pushing this up so early... Userspace applications aren't
ready for this change. The hwmon polling application cannot accept EGAIN
yet, and we can't be returning apparent errors if the sensor is
temporarily unavailable.

Okay. Brad's email is from October 5th, 2017. That's 148 days ago.

Any ETA on when the userspace plans to get some love?

Cheers,

Joel

We have 4 issues in the backlog to address the OCC GPU sensors returning
either a 0 or 0xFF:
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/2327
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/2329
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/2222
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/2223

As fan control is already doing the right thing when it reads the values
as they are now, we deprioritized the work quite a bit so it still
isn't scheduled and may not be until later systems.

Okay. Lets get that work scheduled ASAP, as it's already been quite
some time since we needed that fixed. I think it's now holding up the
Witherspoon team from moving to the new kernel.

Do you have an ETA?

We're going to try to start work on it next sprint, so done in about a
