Various attempts were made recently to "convert" the old
hwmon_device_register() API to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info()
by just changing the function name without actually converting the
driver. Prevent this from happening by making the 'chip' parameter of
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() mandatory.

This patch should not be backported. It is only relevant for new
kernel releases, and may have adverse affect if applied to older
kernels.
So this patch is meant to be backported to 5.18 only, right?
I said "do not backport". I specifically asked not to backport
this patch. It does not include Cc: stable, and it does not
include a Fixes: tag. I even said "... may have adverse affect
if applied to older kernels".
I have no idea how that can be interpreted as "backport to 5.18".
Did I miss the explicit "do not backport to 5.18 ?" If so, my bad.
Ok, here it is a more explicit request:
Do not backport this patch to 5.18.y, 5.17.y, 5.15.y, 5.10.y, 5.4.y,
4.19.y, 4.14.y, 4.9.y, or any other stable release.
