The OCC provides a variety of additional information about the state of
the host processor, such as throttling, error conditions, and the number
of OCCs detected in the system. This information is essential to service
processor applications such as fan control and host management.
Therefore, export this data in the form of sysfs attributes attached to
the platform device (to which the hwmon device is also attached).

The OCC is a device embedded on a POWER processor that collects and
aggregates sensor data from the processor and system. The OCC can
provide the raw sensor data as well as perform thermal and power
management on the system.
This driver provides a hwmon interface to the OCC from a service
processor (e.g. a BMC). The driver supports both POWER8 and POWER9 OCCs.
Communications with the POWER8 OCC are established over standard I2C
bus. The driver communicates with the POWER9 OCC through the FSI-based
OCC driver, which handles the lower-level communication details.
This patch lays out the structure of the OCC hwmon driver. There are two
platform drivers, one each for P8 and P9 OCCs. These are probed through
the I2C tree and the FSI-based OCC driver, respectively. The patch also
defines the first common structures and methods between the two OCC
versions.
