oh, yes, It touched a bit every driver but I already proposed the sysfs 
management
to be in the hwmon core, the advantage of the solution Matthew Garrett 
proposed was
good because it allowed the transition from the old to the new API to 
happen smoothly.

Anyway, I'm really interested in the solution you'll come up with, I 
don't mean to say
Matthew's solution is the best possible ;)
