Please refrain from submitting such cleanups into the hwnon subsystem.
As you can see from Sashiko's feedback, the driver has functional problems.
On top of that, it uses a deprecated API.

Fixing actual bugs and backporting them is only made more difficult by
cosmetic changes. I don't mind if cosmetic changes are made as part of
a functional series, in this case for example when porting the driver
to use the with_info hwmon API. On their own they have no value.
