I think so, because otherwise we'll get complaints about it (people
are really picky abut such things lately). Better not display it at all
if it is not supported on a given PSU version. This should be relatively
easy to catch in the is_visible function.

Nice PS, anyway. Too bad it is so expensive (and large). Do you know
if the HX750i uses the same protocol ?

That doesn't really help if it makes the generated code more complex.

Hmm, which C standard are we talking about ? There are more than 1,800
instances of this in the Linux kernel, but I don't recall any static
analyzer or compiler complaints about it.

Making the code less readable to meet a line limit isn't really that desirable.
If you want to stick with one line, you could drop the "hwmon_" from function prefixes
instead. Those don't really add any value.
