To me "drivers/gpu/drm/amd/pm/amdgpu_pm.c" is a legitimate use case which
doesn't use chip_info (both standard and custom hwmon attributes are
defined without using chip_info). "drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_hwmon.c" has
all this extra code related to chip_info/channel_info which is not
needed. i915 could well move to the amdgpu model and that would reduce i915
code. That is what I was originally proposing for this new patch series.
