I'm sorry, but... no. Just no. Have you tried building with only your
first patch?

It will cause the compiler to barf on, e.g. the following:

static u32 marvell_hwmon_chip_config[] = {
...

static const struct hwmon_channel_info marvell_hwmon_chip = {
        .type = hwmon_chip,
        .config = marvell_hwmon_chip_config,
};

I suggest that you rearrange your series: first, do the conversions
to HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO() in the drivers you have.

At this point, if all the drivers that assign to hw_channel_info.config
have been converted, this patch 1 is then suitable.

If there are still drivers that assign a u32 array to
hw_channel_info.config, then you need to consider how to handle
that without causing regressions. You can't cast it between a u32
array and u64 array to silence the warning, because config[1]
won't point at the next entry.

I think your only option would be to combine the conversion of struct
hwmon_channel_info and the other drivers into a single patch. Slightly
annoying, but without introducing more preprocessor yuckiness, I don't
see another way.
