The many hardware monitoring (HWMON) subsystem updates were merged today for Linux 6.19 that is predominantly around delivering new hardware support.

There are several new HWMON drivers with Linux 6.19 including the Apple Silicon SMC, TSC1641 I2C power monitor, MPS MP9945, MAX17616, and MP2925 and MP2929. Of those the Apple Silicon SMC is quite notable.

I just got GPU temp monitoring working on my old dell laptop. "Heat management" for the GPU is pretty much just an extra chunk of steel tacked onto the heat pipe halfway between the CPU and its radiator, so GPU temps are always in the red.

I might as well just turn off monitoring and remain ignorant 🤷
