🌡️ MVTEMP(4) — the Marvell Armada temp sensor, bestie edition

okay so this is the manual page for mvtemp, the driver that's literally just here to tell you how hot your Marvell Armada chip is feeling 🔥 it lives in the Kernel Interfaces Manual, which is giving very backstage-pass energy ngl.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mvtemp* at fdt?

that's the whole vibe check: mvtemp* attaches at fdt? — wildcard, question mark, the usual "the kernel will figure out the details" situation 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the mvtemp driver provides support for the temperature sensor found on the Marvell Armada 380, 7K and 8K SoCs. that's it, that's the job — it reads the temperature, iconic behavior, no notes 👑

sensor values are made available through the sysctl(8) interface. so you go poke at sysctl(8) and the temps just show up, slay ✨

ngl this is a very small driver and we love that for it. no drama, just vibes and thermal data 💜
