hwmon: (core) check parent dev != NULL when chip != NULL ... hwmon_device_register_with_info() registration API requires a non-NULL parent device when chip is non-NULL. This commit adds a check and documents this requirement.

hwmon: Update documentation to clarify rules for the 'name' attribute ... Clarify that the name attribute must report a valid name, and the rules for valid names. Also clarify that the name parameter must be provided for all supported API functions.

hwmon: (core) Rename groups parameter in API to extra_groups ... The 'groups' parameter of hwmon_device_register_with_info() and devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() is only necessary if extra non-standard attributes need to be provided. Rename the parameter to extra_groups and clarify the documentation. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> Guenter Roeck   commited 2016-12-09 21:54:22 -08:00	848ba0a2f2
hwmon: (core) Deprecate hwmon_device_register() ... Inform the user that hwmon_device_register() is deprecated, and suggest conversion to the newest API. Also remove hwmon_device_register() from the kernel API documentation. Note that hwmon_device_register() is not marked as __deprecated() since doing so might result in build errors.

hwmon: (core) Clarify use of chip attributes ... Describing chip attributes as "attributes which apply to the entire chip" is confusing. Rephrase to "attributes which are not bound to a specific input or output". Also rename hwmon_chip_attr_templates[] to hwmon_chip_attrs[] to indicate that the respective strings strings are not templates but actual attribute names.
