Yes, but that doesn' mean that the name registered with the hwmon subsystem has
to have "hwmon" in it; this is independent of the driver name. That is still
redundant. Anyway, your driver, your call.

You have a number of options: Ignore the error, but consistently. Not a good
idea, not done by recent drivers, but if you think your chip never reports an
error fine with me. Abort if an error occurs, and return the error code from the
function. Store the error in the data, and check the data for error in the
calling code.

My personal preference would be to return an error code from the function (with
PTR_ERR) and check it in the calling code (with ERR_PTR), but it is really your
call.

This is akin to ignoring errors. Again, I don't think this would be a good idea,
but it is your call to make.

drv_data is passed to the registration function below, which attaches it to the
hwmon device. dev_get_drvdata gets it from the hwmon device, not from the
platform device. I don't see any code which reads drv_data from the platform
device. You might need it if the driver had a remove function, but that is not
the case.
