Hi Rob,

Thanks for sharing your time. Please see my answers inline.

Sure, I'll change the subject.

Okay. I'll combine them into one document.

Will drop these 2.

It is for the PECI client address. Will add details.

Will remove that part. Thanks!

Maybe I'm wrong but I intended to show this node is an umbrella node of 
a PECI bus subsystem. What should I use then?

Got it. I'll correct the description. PECI client device is Intel CPU 
which is connected through a PECI bus.

PECI_OFFSET_MAX is defined in include/linux/peci.h based on the maximum 
CPU numbers of the current IA generation. I'll remove the unnecessary 
details. A setting out of range would be handled accordingly in kernel.

Got it. I'll fix these node name like function at 30 and function at 31.

Thanks a lot for your comments!
