I think that's a bit much layering violation, we'd essentially have to
reinvent the hwmon sysfs uapi in fdinfo. Not really a business I want to
be in :-)

What might be needed is better glue to go from the fd or fdinfo to the
right hw device and then crawl around the hwmon in sysfs automatically. I
would not be surprised at all if we really suck on this, probably more
likely on SoC than pci gpus where at least everything should be under the
main pci sysfs device.
