Seeing "ibmpowernv" in dmesg is not very useful, that is just the name
of the platform and doesn't identify the message as coming from the

Change DRVNAME to "powernv-hwmon" to make it clearer.

That results in a sensor name that includes "hwmon" and a dash.
The first doesn't make sense, the second is illegal and will be
rejected by the hwmon subsystem.

Nack.
