Hi, Darrick,

great job. :)

we should at least send a netlink event for an ACPI power meter
notification, shouldn't we?

we should create the hwmon sysfs I/F for the hwmon device,
i.e. add the hwmon attributes
under /sys/devices/LINUXSYS:00/.../ACPI000D:00/hwmon0/
rather than /sys/devices/LINUXSYS:00/.../ACPI000D:00/

plus, _PMD is not supported in this driver, right?
I agree with Yakui that we can create some ACPI device sysfs attributes
besides the hwmon ones. e.g. exporting devices measured by the current
ACPI power meter device to user space.

thanks,
rui
