When using ``[devm_]hwmon_device_register_with_info()`` to register the
hardware monitoring device, accesses using the associated access functions
are serialised by the hardware monitoring core. If a driver needs locking
for other functions such as interrupt handlers or for attributes which are
fully implemented in the driver, hwmon_lock() and hwmon_unlock() can be used
to ensure that calls to those functions are serialized.
for other functions such as interrupt handlers, attributes which are fully
implemented in the driver, or debugfs functions, hwmon_lock() and hwmon_unlock()
can be used to ensure that calls to those functions are serialized. Those
functions also support guard() and scoped_guard() variants.
