Just to give an update: I am not happy with having to add hwmon
specific pm callbacks. That doesn't look right to me. I'll have
to spend time figuring out how other virtual devices handle this
situation. Unfortunately, time is always scarce, so this will likely
take a while.

Also, please note that I won't accept function macros. I understand
that are used a lot, especially in older hwmon drivers, but they just
make the code more difficult to read and often add unnecessary code.

Thanks,
Guenter
