Subject: [PATCH 3/3] hwmon: (oxp-sensors) Refactor init() and remove probe()

Since the driver is not hotpluggable the probe() funtion is not used
more than once.

Move all attribute registration logic to the init() function.

Again, as in patch 2/3, you forgot a signed-off-by line.

But this change isn't correct, just because a device is not
hotpluggable, does not mean it should not be using probe/release, in
fact just the opposite, it should be using that and NOT init.

But I understand why you changed the init call in patch 2/3, that is ok,
this isn't because:

You are creating a fake platform device out of no where here, which is
tied to nothing, which isn't ok. Keep it in the proper device tree and
have it be passed to you by the driver core in the probe() function.

I think you will see that this changed where in /sys/devices/ your
device is now, right?

Making fake platform devices is generally never a good idea, please
don't do that.

This is a system with dmi data, so it won't support devicetree. Other
than that, you are correct, this patch is definitely not a good idea
and needs to be dropped.

Hello Guenter and Greg:

Will resubmit with proper Sign-off

The attribute is created in the same place as before this patch. And
works the same as before this patch.

I can drop this patch and only resubmit 1 and 2. Thanks for the review
to both of you.
