Bug#958151: linux-source-5.6: Please enable hwmon for nvme drives in the kernel config (CONFIG_NVME_HWMON)

[Shmerl <shtetldik@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-source-5.6
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I just tested kernel 5.6.4 from experimental, and noticed that it doesn't
enable hwmon sensors for nvme drives which have been available for some
time already.


I'm not sure why upstream doesn't enable it by default, but it works very well
in general. Please enable CONFIG_NVME_HWMON=y to expose that to Debian build
of the kernel.

Thanks!
