Please no wildcards in file names or descriptions for hwmon drivers,
much less dual-digit wildcards.

This patch does not add support for MAX597{0..9} (and much less for
MAX59{00..99}), only for MAX5970 and MAX5978. For example, it does not
and never will support MAX5977 because that chip does not have an I2C
interface, or MAX5974 which happens to be a PWM controller.

Pick one of {5970,5978} for the file name, and mention both in
descriptions. Yes, I understand, this was accepted with wildcard
in mfd and regulator subsystems, but that doesn't make it acceptable
here.

Either case, what does this driver provide that isn't already
available through drivers/regulator/max597x-regulator.c ?
As written, the driver doesn't support any of the limit or alarm
registers, and there seems to be quite some overlap with the regulator
driver in terms of functionality. Please explore if that is acceptable
for the regulator subsystem. If it is not, come back and we can continue
discussing feasibility as separate hwmon driver.

That should be "depends on".

Where in the datasheet, and why is this conversion not needed in the
regulator driver ?

max597x_read_reg() returns a negative value or 0. Why not just return it ?

The regulator driver takes shunt resistor values into account.

Again, I think it would make much more sense to add hwmon support
to the regulator driver than having a separate driver since there
is lots of overlap. For example, the regulator driver already
sets and monitors limits.

Please add missing default: cases as reported by 0-day.

Please drop and use HWMON_C_INPUT as well as HWMON_I_INPUT
directly.

That function also exists on the regulator driver.

Since the parent driver is a mfd driver, I'd assume that this driver
should be instantiated from there, and I don't see why probe would ever
have to be deferred. Please explain how that can happen.

Uuh, no. That is just accidentally correct, based on

enum max597x_chip_type {
        MAX597x_TYPE_MAX5978 = 1,
        MAX597x_TYPE_MAX5970,
};

The assumption that the numeric chip type matches the number of channels
it supports is as wrong as it can be. There are defines for the number
of channels. I am pretty much completely at loss why they are not used.
Tha same applies for the regulator driver, of course.

Why no error message here but one below ? I am not in favor of error
messages in the probe function, but if you use them please be consistent.

Use dev_err_probe()
