This looks good, just one minor question about the
non-driver-core-related code:

+struct device *

+				  const struct attribute_group **groups)
  {
-	struct device *hwdev;
-	int id;
+	struct hwmon_device *hwdev;
+	int err, id;

  	id = ida_simple_get(&hwmon_ida, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
  	if (id < 0)
  		return ERR_PTR(id);

Don't you need a lock around the ida_simple_get call to ensure hwmon_ida
is not being used at the same time twice?  Or does the ida framework
handle that ok?


ida_simple_get handles the locking as far as I can see. Other callers don't use
local locks either, so I guess it must be working.
