Hi Guenter,

Thanks for your quick response (and apologies about me being delayed), I
appreciate your time!

I can assure you that it wasn't my aim. Generally, my platform has a lot
of small "control" devices providing one sensor each. And as they are
separate from the device model point of view, I wanted them to be
logically grouped around a single hwmon device (I was actually looking
at the coretemp driver). But it's not a big deal, really.

Sure thing, I'll quickly spin a simplified version and post it for
review.

Thanks!
