Booting lead to a hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().
So let's convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

Zhang Rui found an interesting problem with this code:
It needs a call to sysfs_update_groups(hwmon_dev->groups)
to update sysfs attribute visibility, probably between
remove_domain_devices() and setup_attrs().

break;
case METER_NOTIFY_TRIP:
- sysfs_notify(&device->dev.kobj, NULL, POWER_AVERAGE_NAME);
+ hwmon_notify_event(&device->dev, hwmon_power, hwmon_power_average, 0);

... which makes realize: The notification device should be the hwmon device.
That would be resource->hwmon_dev, not the acpi device.


Hello

I will fix this, but do you have an example how to test thoses code path easily ?


No, sorry.
