During development of the support for the temperature sensor on the GPY PHY, I've noticed that there is ususually a loop over the name to replace any invalid characters. Instead of open coding it in the drivers provide a convenience function. The last patch is marked as RFC, it should probably be reposted/applied to the kernel release after next (?). changes since v1: - split patches - add hwmon-kernel-api.rst documentation - move the strdup into the hwmon core - also provide a resource managed variant Michael Walle (5): hwmon: introduce hwmon_sanitize_name() hwmon: intel-m10-bmc-hwmon: use devm_hwmon_sanitize_name() net: sfp: use hwmon_sanitize_name() net: phy: nxp-tja11xx: use devm_hwmon_sanitize_name() hwmon: move hwmon_is_bad_char() into core Documentation/hwmon/hwmon-kernel-api.rst | 9 +++- drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/hwmon/intel-m10-bmc-hwmon.c | 7 +-- drivers/net/phy/nxp-tja11xx.c | 7 +-- drivers/net/phy/sfp.c | 8 +-- include/linux/hwmon.h | 24 +-------- 6 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
