Since the hwmon subsystem has been labeled as both "obsolete" and "obscure",

I did not say that it was not maintained, and I am aware of the information
in the MAINTAINERS file, thanks.
As am I.
I do agree that hwmon is obscure. Almost everything about
anything is obscure to those that don't fully understand it.
I am unaware though of any use of "obsolete" in drivers/hwmon/
or in Documentation/ about hwmon or the wiki/
In what sense do you mean hwmon is obsolete?
_I_ did not say it was obsolete. It was described as obsolete by a maintainer
of a different subsystem at a conference a couple of years ago. If I wasn't too
lazy, I could try to find the presentation, but I don't see the point.
And the cocci script?
Anything later than:
https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2016-December/003887.html
https://github.com/groeck/coccinelle-patches/tree/master/hwmon
?
I don't think I ever published it. If I recall correctly, it required
some cleanup patches to be applied first, but then I gave up on the idea
because I didn't want to proceed without code reviews.
btw: I think the perl scripts I posted for DEV_ATTR_<RW|RO|WO>
transforms are simpler and less prone to tool versioning
issues.

It'd be fairly simple to add SENSOR_ support.
I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks,
