As am I. I do agree that hwmon is obscure. Almost everything about anything is obscure to those that don't fully understand it. I am unaware though of any use of "obsolete" in drivers/hwmon/ or in Documentation/ about hwmon or the wiki/ In what sense do you mean hwmon is obsolete? And the cocci script? Anything later than: https://systeme.lip6.fr/pipermail/cocci/2016-December/003887.html https://github.com/groeck/coccinelle-patches/tree/master/hwmon ? btw: I think the perl scripts I posted for DEV_ATTR_ transforms are simpler and less prone to tool versioning issues. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/22/844 It'd be fairly simple to add SENSOR_ support.
