Re: [PATCH 01/11] platform/x86: asus-wmi: Fix hwmon device cleanup

[Yurii Pavlovskyi]

Hello Daniel,

thank you for the tip. I did not know about this function. It does indeed
seem to make this complete patch redundant looking at
6e5f62b9e3651e61 hwmon: (lm90) Use devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups

I will surely implement it this way in the next version.

Best regards,
Yurii
