[PATCH 4.19 v1 0/2] Fixes for thermal hwmon registration

[PATCH 4.19 v1 0/2] Fixes for thermal hwmon registration

[Will McVicker]

Hi All,

These two patches fix issues with thermal hwmon registration on 4.19.
The upstream commit ddaefa209c4a ("hwmon: Make chip parameter for
with_info API mandatory") forces the chip parameter to be mandatory
which breaks thermal subsystem devices from probing. These fixes were
pulled into 5.4, but missed from 4.19. I have verified them on Pixel
5 with the 4.19 kernel.

Thanks,
Will

[PATCH 4.19 v1 1/2] hwmon: Introduce hwmon_device_register_for_thermal

[Will McVicker]

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

[ upstream commit e5d21072054fbadf41cd56062a3a14e447e8c22b ]

The thermal subsystem registers a hwmon driver without providing
chip or sysfs group information. This is for legacy reasons and
would be difficult to change. At the same time, we want to enforce
that chip information is provided when registering a hwmon device
using hwmon_device_register_with_info(). To enable this, introduce
a special API for use only by the thermal subsystem.

NACK. The patch introducing the problem needs to be reverted.

I'm fine with that as well. I've already verified that fixes the issue. I'll go
ahead and send the revert.

My understanding is that it is already queued up.

Yes it is, sorry for the delay, will try to push out -rc releases later

[PATCH 4.19 v1 2/2] thermal/drivers/thermal_hwmon: Use hwmon_device_register_for_thermal()

[Will McVicker]

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

[ upstream commit 87743bcf08072b3e1952a0bf5524b2833e667b4c ]

The thermal subsystem registers a hwmon device without providing chip
information or sysfs attribute groups. While undesirable, it would be
difficult to change. On the other side, it abuses the
hwmon_device_register_with_info API by not providing that information.
Use new API specifically created for the thermal subsystem instead to
let us enforce the 'chip' parameter for other callers of
hwmon_device_register_with_info().
