But I have not seen hwmon devices for bq27200 and rx51-battery yet. Those are power supply driver and auto-exporting them also via hwmon is something new, right? If yes, then we can use any name for those new hwmon devices as they cannot break userspace... as there is no userspace application for them. > Next question is .. are there other drivers affected?

IIRC hwmon core does not accept '-' for a long time (maybe all 4.x versions?). -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@gmail.com
