Currently the label says "Core" but lists the thread numbers. This
ends up looking like this:
    # cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp[1-4]_label
    Core 0-7
    Core 8-15
    Core 16-23
    Core 24-31

This is misleading as it looks like it's cores 0-7 when it's actually
threads 0-7.

This changes the print to just give the core number, so the output now
looks like this:
    # cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp[1-4]_label
    Core 0
    Core 8
    Core 16
    Core 24

Yes. This looks better. The DTS are related to the core so we don't 
really care about the threads.

Acked-by: Cédric Le Goater <clg@kaod.org>



Side question, should we use the Physical ID and not the Linux 
logical one ? I don't know if it is exposed elsewhere in user space.

Thanks,

C.

Thanks

Yeah Linux logical is what the user sees for sysfs interfaces, /proc/cpuinfo,
taskset etc so that makes more sense than physical.
