Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/9] hwmon: Introduce hwmon_device_register_with_groups

This looks good, just one minor question about the
non-driver-core-related code:

> +struct device *
> +hwmon_device_register_with_groups(struct device *dev, const char *name,
> +				  void *drvdata,

>  {

> -	int id;
> +	struct hwmon_device *hwdev;
> +	int err, id;
>  
>  	id = ida_simple_get(&hwmon_ida, 0, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
>  	if (id < 0)
>  		return ERR_PTR(id);

Don't you need a lock around the ida_simple_get call to ensure hwmon_ida
is not being used at the same time twice?  Or does the ida framework
handle that ok?

thanks,
