Hi Jens,

Thank you for the contribution. I'll take a look this week.

I wonder why Red Hat did not enable this driver in their el8 kernel?

I see no issue with installing the template config file. My only 
suggestion is we add a Requires(post) for dmidecode.

Requires(post): %{_sbindir}/dmidecode

We will also need to add something to %preun to remove 
/etc/sensors.d/fts-teutates-${BOARDVERSION}.conf upon uninstall of the 
kmod package to ensure we are not leaving orphaned files on the system. 
Something like:

%preun
if [ "$1" -eq "0" ]; then # uninstall
   BOARDVERSION=$(dmidecode -t system | grep "Product Name" | sed -e 
"s#.*Product Name: ##")
   if [ -e "/etc/sensors.d/fts-teutates-${BOARDVERSION}.conf" ]; then
     rm /etc/sensors.d/fts-teutates-${BOARDVERSION}.conf
   fi
fi ||:


at which point we will also need:

Requires(preun): %{_sbindir}/dmidecode

Thanks,

Phil
