Thank you for raising this valid concern. We've closely monitored GPD's
development plans and currently see no indication of EC functionality
expansion beyond thermal sensors in the foreseeable future. Given this
observation, we believe placing the driver in hwmon remains appropriate
for now.
That said, we fully respect your maintainer perspective on
future-proofing. If you feel strongly that platform/x86 would be a safer
long-term home despite the current scope, we're happy to move the driver
there immediately. We're committed to finding the most sustainable
solution for upstream.
