Hello,

Initial versions of the patchset intended to introduce the use of
iio_hwmon for Vybrid SoC's. Currently the iio_hwmon driver has two
users and as per the binding documentation, the node names use the
underscore. Use of hypen in device tree node names is acceptable,
however currently the hwmon core code rejects it due to perhaps user
space not liking the hypen and getting confused.

As per Guenter Roeck's suggestion, the first patch looks for a hypen
and replaces it with a underscore in the probe call of iio_hwmon driver
before calling hwmon_device_register_with_groups for registration. Any
users of iio_hwmon driver can now use hypen in the node name.

As per Shawn's suggestion, the existing users have been changed to use
the hypen instead of the underscore and the iio-bindings document
updated. Third patch introduces the usage for Vybrid itself.

Patchset is based on top of shawn's for-next branch.

Feedbacks and comments most welcome. Thank you for feedbacks.

@Guenter
I hope I understood and implemented correctly what you had in mind.

Yes.

Series applied to hwmon-next (if the dts changes also end up in an arm branch,
no harm done).

Thanks,
Guenter
