But not for me. Krzysztof jumped the gun here a bit.
I do not feel comfortable applying patches for 10+ subsystem
branches through hwmon. This is asking for trouble.

I created a stable branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git hwmon-const

which everyone may use to merge the pre-requisite patch, or wait until
after the next merge window.
