Hi, Denis!
Thank you for submitting this driver to the mainline! I have a few
comments/suggestions, please find them below.
> +#define HWMON_MAX 9
There is a hwmon_max enum member, whose current value is 10.

Suggestion:
#define ASUS_WMI_MAX_BUF_LEN 0x80 /* from the
ASUS_WMI_BLOCK_READ_REGISTERS_MAX value */
> +#define ASUSWMI_SENSORS_MAX 11
This one is for the EC only, maybe rename it accordingly?

Duplicates the value in the asus_wmi_sensors struct. Refactoring artifact?

This one is named "W_FLOW" in the BIOS and ASUS software. Maybe append
"_flow" to the label?

Makes little sense in the kernel.

I would add a test for ec->nr_registers >
ASUS_WMI_BLOCK_READ_REGISTERS_MAX and a warning log message here.

Can we add a module alias or to load the module automatically by other
means? For module aliases we know DMI parameters for the supported
boards.
