Subject[PATCH v3 1/2] hwmon: introduce hwmon_sanitize_name()
Date
More and more drivers will check for bad characters in the hwmon name
and all are using the same code snippet. Consolidate that code by adding
a new hwmon_sanitize_name() function.

+If the driver doesn't use a static device name (for example it uses
