This hwmon driver is for BMC side kernel which is for monitoring remote 
CPUs, not a local CPU. So it needs to consider the remote CPU's booting 
from the remote server's power on.

Thanks for your kind explanation. My understanding is, it should use 
hwmon_device_register_with_info with multiple hwmon_channel_info 
parameter as an array for adding standard attributes and don't use the 
groups parameter of the API because the groups parameter of this API is 
for adding a non-standard attribute, right? But even with this change, 
it still needs to use delayed creation because BMC side kernel doesn't 
know how many DIMMs are populated on a remote server before the remote 
server completes its memory training and testing in BIOS, but it needs 
to check the remote server's CPU temperature as immediate as possible to 
make appropriate thermal control based on the remote CPU's temperature 
to avoid any critical thermal issue. What would be a better solution in 
this case?

Thanks a lot,
