            Bug ID: 198933
           Summary: amdtemp(4) supports AMD 16h family processors (Kabini)
                    but this is not reflected in it's man page
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: isoa at kapsi.fi

Support for AMD 16h family processors, such as Kabini, was added to amdtemp(4)
in the following pr: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186587

My computer has such a processor (AMD A4 / Kabini, quad core), and I can verify
amdtemp(4) works in FreeBSD 10.1:

# uname -a 
FreeBSD xxx.xxx 10.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue Feb 24 18:57:59

# dmesg

# kldload amdtemp
amdtemp0: <AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on hostb5
# sysctl -a | grep amdtemp
dev.amdtemp.%parent:
dev.amdtemp.0.%desc: AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors
dev.amdtemp.0.%driver: amdtemp
dev.amdtemp.0.%location:
dev.amdtemp.0.%pnpinfo:
dev.amdtemp.0.%parent: hostb5
dev.amdtemp.0.sensor_offset: 0
dev.amdtemp.0.core0.sensor0: 61,3C

However, when the man page for amdtemp(4) only mentions the following:
...
DESCRIPTION
     The amdtemp driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor
     present in AMD Family 0Fh, 10h, 11h, 12h, 14h, and 15h processors.
...

To me it seems like the man page should mention 16h AMD processor family being
supported.
