The new API attaches the hwmon attributes to the hwmon device, not to the
i2c device. This means that one has to use dev_get_drvdata() in the
access functions, and store the i2c device in the local data structure
(here: struct w83791d_data). Also, one has to pass the local data
structure as argument to hwmon_device_register_with_groups().
You did not do any of that, which makes me wonder if you tested this
code. Unless I am really missing something, it should crash quite nicely
if you load the driver on a system with this chip and try to access
any of the attributes.
