Re: hid class and sysfs/hwmon

If anyone can see why this might result in no sysfs files, please let me
know! I previously had most of this code working with a platform_device
instead of the hid_device, which is what makes me wonder about
hdev->dev.kobj. (Not sure how to test if that variable is accurate,
either.) Or perhaps it has already been used elsewhere and it can only
be used once?

I suppose it's under /sys/bus/hid/devices/.../, isn't it?

Aha, yes! I didn't even think of checking there. I suppose this means I have to create another device (like a platform_device) in order to have the sysfs files appear in the correct place?

Is a platform_device the correct type to create, or is there another way?

Thanks,
Adam.
