Actually, you don't define a single hwmon ABI attribute right now. So moving it to the x86 platform code might be a better option. One possibility might be to move the driver to the x86 platform code, but add/use hwmon ABI attributes as much as possible, and register those attributes as hwmon device if CONFIG_HWMON is defined. Several other platform specific drivers already do the same.
