My editor shows nice tooltips for /** comments and I did not realise
kernel doc processes
all the source unconditionally. Anyway, I removed them.

I once had an ASUS board where they changed board headers in some
hardware revision. I suspect the EC sensors
interface is valid for their other boards too, we just need users to
collect those data. It's quite possible that the DMI
board version would change in that case, so that we can add another
DMI match if required.
So, I'll take your advice and move the sensors to the driver_data field.

Setting the value to 0 then :)
