One level is in the kernel. It's just an export interface to transfer
status data from the kernel to userland. The goal of this framework is
IMO to "collect" all this data in the kernel and provide a single
point of contact for the userland to query this in-kernel data. That's
what the soc project was about. Let's call this kernel sensors
framework here.

The project may have been about that, but what was committed included
more than that (systat and sensord)...

It does look like you are finally understanding what we have been
talking about.. so I won't comment on the rest of it..
