As mentioned on the lm-sensors list for hwmon patches already, I think it would be much clearer to not split __devexit, __devexit_p, __devinit etc. removal into separate patches. One patch per subsystem would be easier to review and apply. If patches grow too large then you'd rather split in a different direction, for example drivers/i2c/muxes vs. drivers/i2c/busses or even grouped by related bus drivers (see entries "I2C OVER PARALLEL PORT" and "I2C/SMBUS CONTROLLER DRIVERS FOR PC" in MAINTAINERS for examples of meaningful groups.) -- Jean Delvare
