Subject: [PATCH v1] hwmon: (acpi_power_meter) Stop setting acpi_device_name/class()
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2026 14:35:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2297496.irdbgypaU6@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The driver populates acpi_device_name() and acpi_device_class() that are
never read afterward, so make it stop doing that and drop the symbols
defined for this purpose.

Since ACPI_POWER_METER_CLASS is also used for generating ACPI netlink
events, use the "pwr_meter_resource" string literal directly instead of
it for that.

No intentional functional impact.

This will facilitate the removal of device_name and device_class from
struct acpi_device_pnp in the future.
