The thermal subsystem registers a hwmon driver without providing chip or sysfs group information. This is for legacy reasons and would be difficult to change. At the same time, we want to enforce that chip information is provided when registering a hwmon device using hwmon_device_register_with_info(). To enable this, introduce a special API for use only by the thermal subsystem. Acked-by: Rafael J . Wysocki <rafael@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
