Maybe you consider changing the subject of the bindings from "misc"
to "hwmon" as not being a major change, but it made me aware that you
are trying to sneak bindings which in my opinion don't belong there
into the hwmon bindings directory. This is not a hardware monitoring
device, it doesn't have anything to do with hardware monitoring, and the
bindings do not belong into bindings/hwmon/.
I understand, it's a thin line across which I pushed ESM into hwmon; my reasoning was ESM also actively looks for signals that it aggregates, and is overall monitoring the device health. But if there was an option, in order of fitting: fault/ > misc/ > hwmon/
That is really a stretch. It doesn't monitor anything. It is a signal
routing mechanism.
With that logic every transistor would be a hardware monitoring device.
