Hi All,

Just FYI, 

I noticed that with the newest OpenBSD versions (e.g. I currently have
6.7 GENERIC.MP#273 amd64) a bit more of the Intel Platform Controller Hub
(PCH) is now recognised. At boot time the kernel logs:
> pchtemp0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 "Intel 300 Series Thermal" rev 0x30

And an additional temperature value for "pchtemp0" is now available:
> sysctl hw.sensors
> hw.sensors.cpu0.temp0=46.00 degC
> hw.sensors.acpitz1.temp0=27.80 degC (zone temperature)
> hw.sensors.pchtemp0.temp0=52.00 degC

Apparently it's the hottest thing in the system! Maybe not surprising
given all the things that the PCH chip is capable of doing :)

This is on an Intel NUC 8i5BEH. Some of the other functionality is not
yet recognised/configured:
> "Intel 300 Series Shared SRAM" rev 0x30 at pci0 dev 20 function 2 not 
> configured
> "Intel 300 Series MEI" rev 0x30 at pci0 dev 22 function 0 not configured
> "Intel 300 Series SPI" rev 0x30 at pci0 dev 31 function 5 not configured

Certainly SPI is Serial Peripheral Interface, though I don't know what it
might be connected to. SRAM is likely Static RAM, could potentially be
used for persistent storage e.g. for crash logging "between" boots.

Cheers,
Robb.
