This is obviously an iio > driver, not a hwmon driver. Any hwmon related concern is irrelevant. It's a left over comment / attempt to summarise the discussion of whether IIO or HWMON was a better home for a driver for this device. Based on current feature set that's not an obvious decision, but there are other planned features that fit better in IIO. > > Guenter >
