Ok, I have fan*_* and temp*_input hanging directly from the device (no groups). However, that device has a lot of other stuff that is not even remotely accounted for in hwmon, such as control of video outputs and hotkeys, the firmware action beeper, etc. Does that cause problems for lm-sensors, or would it just ignore the extra attributes and groups? I can provide two devices, ibm-acpi.0 and ibm-acpi.1, and have the hwmon attributes in only one of them, and register just that one with the hwmon class. Would that be better/safer? -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
