Hello Eduardo Valentin,
Commit 3aa74796cfd0 ("hwmon: (pmbus) Register with thermal for
PSC_TEMPERATURE") from Apr 28, 2022 (linux-next), leads to the
following Smatch static checker warning:
drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus_core.c:1375 pmbus_add_sensor()
error: we previously assumed 'type' could be null (see line 1347)
