So I'm close to have to conversion done,
the current diff stat is about
647 insertions(+), 787 deletions(-)
for the whole conversion.

Should I try to break it down into smaller chunks for easier review?

Although this would mean to convert stuff from A to B and then from B to C -
otherwise the intermediate steps would be not fully functional. 
(since the sysfs nodes partially would exist under hwmon1/ and partially under 
hwmon1/device/ (as they currently are)).

or just submit it?

It saves about 20k in compiled size, so the savings from reduced boilerplate 
are huge. (and I think it's more readable)

Hehe - I'm testing on a nct6776 :)
I'll look into it once the first conversion has been accepted.

Thanks,
