The above should not be part of the e-mail body.
Alarms on gpio-fan can't be received from sysfs_notify, because the
wrong kobject is passed.
This patch fixes this.
Empty line here please.

You'll want to make the same change for kobject_uevent().
Actually, uevents are send and can be received as is. I have tried changing
the kobject for kobject_uevent(), too, and only the content of the uevent
changes.
Since I don't know what would be the "right" one, I left it as is.
If you say, that it would be correct with the hwmon_dev kobject, I'll add
this to the patch.
The point of uevent notifications is to tell userspace that something changed
in the provided directory. It doesn't help if the uevent does not point there.

Sounds legit. I sent new patch.
