Similar to IIO, create a device directory inside debugfs
mount point, and create a direct_reg_access file inside
that directory, if debugfs_reg_access callback is defined
inside hwmon_ops.


Patch looks good afaics. I don't want to apply it now (ie for 5.17),
though, because it is getting close and we don't have a use case.
If you have one in mind, I'd suggest to submit it together with
this patch, or we'll have to wait until there is a user.

As I mentioned previously I have a local patch on top of the ADT7X10
refactor that uses this. I tested your modifications to my patchset on
the ADT7420 part and it seems to work just fine. I can push it on top of
either this patch or that patchset, your choice.
