The acpi_power_meter driver doesn't create any standard hwmon sysfs
attributes under its hwmon device node, but instead, the driver has its
own code to create the hwmon style sysfs attributes in the ACPI device
node of the ACPI Power Meter device.
I'm not clear why it was designed in that way.
In order to elimite
[ 79.960333] power_meter ACPI000D:00: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().
convert the driver to use the new API, no chip_info or sysfs_groups
parameter needed.
The only difference brought by this patch is that the "name" attribute
will be created under the hwmon device node. Not sure if this matters or
not.
