First of all, Juerg's answer is correct, 2.10.0 doesn't play fair with platform hwmon drivers unless an i2c driver is also present. Secondly, your driver must have a "name" attribute containing the chip name (such as "pc87360" or "pc87366" etc. in your case) else libsensors won't be able to use it. That's probably what you're missing here. BTW, I don't want to discourage you from working on this, as this will be needed at some point in time, but remember that I do not plan to accept any i2c-isa -> platform conversion before next year, because we need a widely deployed base of working libsensors before we do, and unfortunately even 2.10.0 doesn't qualify, as Juerg and you found out.
