Hello ! The current implementation of the driver uses an index for the hwmon attribute which is extracted from the device node name. This index is calculated by the OPAL firmware and its usage creates a dependency with the driver which makes changes a little more complex in OPAL. This patchset changes the ibmpowernv code to use its own index. It starts with a few cleanups, mostly code shuffling around the creation of the hwmon sysfs attributes and completes by removing the dependency.Series applied to hwmon-next (with patch #4 fixed up).
Thanks ! C.
