The hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. When I try to repace it with hwmon_device_register_with_info() for acpi_power_meter driver, I found that the power channel attribute in linux/hwmon.h have to extend and is more than 32 after this replacement. However, the maximum number of hwmon channel attributes is 32 which is limited by current hwmon codes. This is not good to add new channel attribute for some hwmon sensor type and support more channel attribute. This series are aimed to do this. And also make sure that acpi_power_meter driver can successfully replace the deprecated hwmon_device_register() later.
Avoid combining independent patches into one patch bomb. Or explain the dependencies and how is it supposed to be merged - that's why you have cover letter here. Best regards, Krzysztof
