Modify set-value function from external

    Move Special mode from bmcweb to dbus-sensors, this will be handled via dbus-sensor when the user set-value f$
    This is unlikely to break any users because the Intel special mode function is no change, only move to dbus-s$

    The set value function is to filter the external set, excluding the internal set.
    In the external set, if in INSECURE_UNRESTRICTED_SENSOR_OVERRIDE, no need to check before set value else add $

    bmcweb needs to be merged at the same time.

dbus-sensors

dbus-sensors is a collection of sensor applications that provide the xyz.openbmc_project.Sensor collection of interfaces. They read sensor values from hwmon, d-bus, or direct driver access to provide readings. Some advance non-sensor features such as fan presence, pwm control, and automatic cpu detection (x86) are also supported.

key features

  • runtime re-configurable from d-bus (entity-manager or the like)

  • isolated: each sensor type is isolated into its own daemon, so a bug in one sensor is unlikely to affect another, and single sensor modifications are possible

  • async single-threaded: uses sdbusplus/asio bindings

  • multiple data inputs: hwmon, d-bus, direct driver access
