Thanks Rob,

SMpro (MFD driver) reports various data included hwmon-related data, RAS 
error monitor and other miscellaneous information, and we need three 
difference drivers for these purposes. And that is why hwmon, misc and 
errmon nodes are added to instantiate these drivers.

I'm wonder if this is the right way or if there's anything that can be 
improved ?
