@Shawn
I agree with what you state here, however as you can see the hwmon_device_
register_with_groups does check for hypen with strpbrk and returns EINVAL.
Changing to hyphen instead of currently present underscore in iio_hwmon
node name causes probe failure.

If the node name needs to have hyphen, then the check for hyphen as an invalid
character in hwmon name attribute needs to be changed. I am CC'ing the hwmon
subsystem maintainers Jean Delvare ands Guenter Roeck as well as hwmon list to
check.

@Jean & Guenter
Can you please comment if the change to hwmon_device_register_with_groups
to accept hyphen as a valid character in hwmon name attribute will be acceptable?
Sorry if this is sudden andfor bringing you late into the discussion Jean and
Guenter.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanchayan.
