I want to have this handled differently: In Kconfig, mark the
SENSORS_ASUS_WMI_EC driver as depending on !SENSORS_ASUS_EC,
and add a note to Kconfig stating that the driver is replaced
by SENSORS_ASUS_EC, which should be used instead. Then, in a couple
of releases, we can remove the obsolete driver. This will give
us some test coverage of the new driver but still provide an alternative.

Thanks,
Guenter
