[PATCH v1 1/2] Revert "thermal: hwmon: Use extra_groups for adding temperature attributes"

From: Rafael J. Wysocki

Date: Fri Jul 31 2026 - 09:17:20 EST


From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

Revert commit cfb5dc0f60fb ("thermal: hwmon: Use extra_groups for adding
temperature attributes") because it is depended on by another one that
turned out to be problematic.
