[PATCH v3 0/2] hwmon: Add "label" attribute v3

[PATCH v3 0/2] hwmon: Add "label" attribute v3

[Paul Cercueil]

Hi Jean, Guenter,

A V3 of my patchset which allows specifying a hwmon device's label from
Device Tree. When the "label" device property is present, its value is
exported to the userspace via the "label" sysfs attribute.

This is useful for userspace to be able to identify an individual device
when multiple individual chips are present in the system.

Note that this mechanism already exists in IIO.

Patch [1/2] documents the ABI change.
Patch [2/2] adds the change to the core drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c file.

Changes from v2:
- Move the code setting the label around in the probe function to fix
  error handling issue.

Cheers,
-Paul

[PATCH v3 1/2] ABI: hwmon: Document "label" sysfs attribute

[Paul Cercueil]

Add the "label" sysfs attribute, which can contain a descriptive label
that allows to uniquely identify a device within the system.

[PATCH v3 2/2] hwmon: Add "label" attribute

[Paul Cercueil]

If a label is defined in the device tree for this device add that
to the device specific attributes. This is useful for userspace to
be able to identify an individual device when multiple identical
chips are present in the system.

Notes:
    v2: - Cache label into hwmon_device
        - Rename hwmon_dev_name_is_visible() to hwmon_dev_attr_is_visible()
    v3: Move the code setting the label around in the probe function to fix
        error handling issue.
