From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@xxxxxx> This patch series is converting the dell-smm-hwmon driver to the new hwmon registration API. In order to do so, it introduces a platform device in the first patch, and applies some optimisations in the next three patches. The switch to the new hwmon registration API is done in the last patch. The caching of the fan/temp values was modified to better fit the new hwmon API. The patches work fine for my Dell Latitude C600, but i whould appreciate someone testing the code on another model too.
