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In what sense do you mean hwmon is obsolete?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_<RW|RO|WO> transforms are simpler and less prone to tool versioning issues.

It'd be fairly simple to add SENSOR_ support.
