I understand that there are sensors that may not have an obvious
associated topology and therefore necessitate coming up with a suitable
naming or enumeration scheme. But in this case we already have a
well-defined SCSI device name. Any particular reason you don't shift the
chip.addr back and print the H:C:T:L format that you used as input?
However arcane H:C:T:L may seem, I think that predictable naming would
make things a lot easier for users that need to identify which device
matches which sensor...
