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 v2: - doc update - dropped last three patches, the net patches will be submitted seperately 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 (2): hwmon: introduce hwmon_sanitize_name() hwmon: intel-m10-bmc-hwmon: use devm_hwmon_sanitize_name() Documentation/hwmon/hwmon-kernel-api.rst | 16 ++++++++ drivers/hwmon/hwmon.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/hwmon/intel-m10-bmc-hwmon.c | 7 +--- include/linux/hwmon.h | 3 ++ 4 files changed, 70 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
