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

-fully implemented in the driver, hwmon_lock() and hwmon_unlock() can be used
-to ensure that calls to those functions are serialized.
