    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    In what sense do you mean hwmon is obsolete?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.
