Hi

I have been playing around with envsys/envstat and noticed that there don't
appear to be any warnings given when values go out of what I would think are
reasonable ranges.

For example, I unplugged the CPU fan and saw 'fan 2' go from 4000 RPM to 0
RPM and 'Temp 1' started rising from 40 degrees (I left it till it was 70
degrees and then put the fan back on). Unfortunately, the driver didn't
appear to set any of the warning flags for these sensors. Does this make
sense? or should I manually set the limits in user space?

Thanks for any advice
