A number of network PHY drivers use the following code: name = devm_hwmon_sanitize_name(dev, dev_name(dev)); if (IS_ERR(name)) return PTR_ERR(name); devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(dev, name, ..); Make this a generic fallback option and use the device name if no name is provided to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info(). This would allow to simplify the affected drivers.
