I was assuming the pci-driver could ACPI for device instantiation, and
the platdrv could use DT. Then, the adapter class usage raised my
eyebrow.

I just saw that the pci-driver does not have ACPI support, yet. So, the
class could be used. Not sure about the platdrv case? But even then, the
adapter will probe EVERY hwmon device as soon as its i2c client driver
loads. Do you really want that? This may cost boot time, has unneeded
traffic on the bus, etc.
