Hi Krzysztof,
Thank you very much for your detailed review. We appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the clarification.
I am planning to update the next revision as follows. Would this be
acceptable?
YAML:
- label:
- enum:
- - pvt0
- - pvt1
+ label: true
required:
- compatible
- reg
- clocks
- interrupts
- - label
Driver:
static int eic7700_pvt_create_hwmon(struct pvt_hwmon *pvt)
{
- struct device *dev = pvt->dev;
- struct device_node *np = dev->of_node;
- const char *node_label;
- int type;
- const char *names[2] = {"soc_pvt", "ddr_pvt"};
-
- if (of_property_read_string(np, "label", &node_label)) {
- dev_err(dev, "Missing 'label' property in DTS node\n");
- return -EINVAL;
- }
-
- if (strcmp(node_label, "pvt0") == 0) {
- type = 0;
- } else if (strcmp(node_label, "pvt1") == 0) {
- type = 1;
- } else {
- dev_err(pvt->dev, "Unsupported label: %s\n", node_label);
- return -EINVAL;
- }
+ const char *name = "pvt";
+
+ of_property_read_string(pvt->dev->of_node, "label", &name);
- pvt->hwmon = devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(pvt->dev, names[type],
+ pvt->hwmon = devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(pvt->dev, name,
pvt, &pvt_hwmon_info,
NULL);

I will update the example node name from "pvt@..." to the generic
"sensor@...". Is this acceptable?
Best regards,
