This does not look like a reference to some piece of hardware.


This driver provides generic PECI hwmon function to which controller has
PECI HW such as Aspeed or Nuvoton BMC chip so it's not dependant on a
specific hardware. Should I remove this or any suggestion?

PECI seems to be an Intel thing. So at least it should be

  { .compatible = "intel,peci-hwmon", }

assuming it is actually compatible with the Intel specification.

Yes, PECI is an Intel thing but this driver is running on an ARM kernel on Aspeed or Nuvoton chipsets for now. This driver will be monitoring a host server's Intel CPU and DIMM which is running on a separated OS.

Thanks,
Jae
