I had a look at devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info. It mostly deals
with constant structures where all the attributes are known at the boot
time. In case of SCMI, the firmware presents all the sensors and all the
information(type, scale, name/label, ...etc). Unless I create those
structures dynamically and typecast as const during probe, I can't get
it working. Are you OK with that ? If so, I can try making those changes.
