Hi!

I'll try to revert it on the top of v4.10-rc5 now... and yes, it fixes
the issue.

Any idea what went wrong and how to fix that?

Anyway as we are at -rc5 and this is warning fix that caused a
regression on different hardware... it should be reverted.

Agreed.

What exactly does "stopped working" mean ? That might help understanding
what went wrong.

/sys files related to battery no longer appear. I beieve this has
something to do with it:

So the problem is really that the thermal driver needs to create a valid name.

Right.

Before reverting, can you please try if this patch works or not?

thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] thermal: fix parameter when registering hwmon

commit 7611fb68062f ("thermal: thermal_hwmon: Convert to
hwmon_device_register_with_info()") converts thermal core to use
hwmon_device_register_with_info() to register to hwmon instead of
deprecated hwmon_device_register().
But at the same time, the name of the hwmon device created is changed to
the thermal zone device name in this commit, which may contain
incompatible characters for hwmon.

Fixes it by using exactly the same parameters as before this commit.

This is wrong. The name should be converted to a valid name. Otherwise you would
still have to provide the name attribute yourself, and the resulting name would
still be invalid. A simple fix would be to add
strreplace(hwmon->type, '-', '_');
after strlcpy().
