[PATCH 0/1] hwmon: (applesmc) Convert to hwmon_device_register_with_info

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

Hi Henrik and Guenter,

This patch converts the applesmc driver from using the deprecated
hwmon_device_register() function to the modern hwmon_device_register_with_info()
API. This silences the following deprecation warning from dmesg on load:

[   24.706091] applesmc: key=620 fan=0 temp=37 index=36 acc=0 lux=2 kbd=0
[   24.706270] applesmc applesmc.768: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

Because the driver creates all its sysfs attributes dynamically on the platform
device, we define a minimal struct hwmon_chip_info with a single temperature
channel and implement a visibility callback that returns 0 (hidden) for it.

This satisfies the new API requirements while keeping all existing sysfs paths
and attributes completely unchanged under the platform device directory
(/sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/), ensuring 100% backwards compatibility
with existing user-space fan control tools (such as mbpfan and macfanctld).
