Maybe, but that is going to take a lot of time. Many configuration options
of hardware monitoring chips (such as the thermal sensor type, the ideality
factor of a thermal diode, or the number of pulses per revolution reported
by fans) are actually properties of the connected device, and Rob has made
clear that he expects such properties to be associated with the actual
device (fan, thermal sensor, etc). I don't even know how to model that,
and I really don't have the time (nor, really, the expertise) to come up
with acceptable generic bindings.
