Currently, the hp-wmi-sensors driver needs to be loaded manually
on supported machines. This however is unnecessary since the WMI
id table can be used to support autoloading.
However the driver might conflict with the hp-wmi driver since both
seem to use the same WMI GUID for registering notify handler.
I have no idea how this is supposed to be handled.
wmi_install_notify_handler() is marked as deprecated,
suggesting that the entire driver structure may be outdated.
I am thus submitting this patch as an RFC for now.
... and, given the above, I have no idea what to do with it, sorry.
