Devices registered with this interface will have "dev" under, for example, /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/dev. To do the same inside the driver will be a bit more involved than a call. In my opinion other classes should also have similar interfaces. > On the technical side, EXPORT_SYMBOL is missing. > I will take care of that.
