New code can't be reported as regression. Or what did you mean by that?

reST has a special keyword for that.

The common rule is to go from generic to particular, hence
linux/*
followed by
asm/*
followed by local subsystem / local headers like
linux/hwmon*
with a blank line between each group.

Not sure what this means, but...

Keep the same style for all comments, i.e. here "From ..."

You should choose one style for all macros. Here is one, there is
another... I would recommend to use one of
#define ... { \
... \
}
or
#define ... \
{ \
... \
}
In the second case the indentation of the {} is defined by the
semantics of the macro: in case of function-like macro it starts from
the first column, in case of data structure filler usually with one
TAB.

One line and "All known sensors..."

Isn't it filled by kzalloc() or alike?

The comment above misses a lot of punctuation. Also it would be nice
to indent the list of items if any and so on.

Instead I would prefer to have to min_t() calls without adding castings.
Also might be useful to have a short comment explaining this choice.

Comment style.

Why is casting needed?

Logically better to keep &input and &output on the same line, i.e.
second one here.

What's the point of calling acpi_os_free(obj) when you already know it's NULL?
On top of that is the acpi_os_free() high-level enough API for this?

Ditto.

Thanks for using KILO, but do you think it's the correct one and not MILLI?
MILLI means that we got value in <units> and we would like to convert
it to <milliunits>.
KILO would mean the opposite, like we got in <milliunits> and we would
like to have <units>.

Here and elsewhere, perhaps reversed xmas tree order?

It's kinda semi-ABI, please be not dependent on compile-time variables.
