[ Upstream commit ddaefa209c4ac791c1262e97c9b2d0440c8ef1d5 ]
Various attempts were made recently to "convert" the old hwmon_device_register() API to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() by just changing the function name without actually converting the driver. Prevent this from happening by making the 'chip' parameter of devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() mandatory.
