It is possible that fixing CID 209503 will fix these FIXMEs. I do not
know this code well at all and am in absolutely no position to test.
Removing the FIXME needs much more scrutiny!!

When first support for the POWER8 DTS was added a couple of years ago, 
the trip bits always had some 'bogus' value, which raised useless 
warnings at the userspace level in hwmon. Is this fixed now ? 

What is 209503 about ?

209503 is about the dts parameter to these functions coming from
uninitialised memory which may explain bits always being set. Sorry I
probably should have cced you on the fix for 209503 as well, might have
helped with context.

hmm, I don't see where the dts could be uninitialized. Anyhow, 
you can check the raw DTS values from userspace with this command :

	getscom <0x10000000 | 0x50000 | (core_id << 24)>

which returns something like 023f023f022f0000 on a palmetto.
