During development of the support for the temperature sensor on the GPY
PHY, I've noticed that there is ususually a loop over the name to
replace any invalid characters. Instead of open coding it in the drivers
provide a convenience function.
The last patch is marked as RFC, it should probably be reposted/applied
to the kernel release after next (?).
changes since v2:
- doc update
- dropped last three patches, the net patches will be submitted
seperately
changes since v1:
- split patches
- add hwmon-kernel-api.rst documentation
- move the strdup into the hwmon core
- also provide a resource managed variant
