Note that something like
Datasheet: Available from Nuvoton upon request
is quite common for hardware monitoring chips and acceptable.

Can you be more specific ? I didn't have time yet to look into details,
but at first glance this looks like a standard hardware monitoring driver.
One could argue that the high level design of such drivers is described
in Documentation/hwmon/hwmon-kernel-api.rst.
I don't usually ask for a additional design information for hwmon drivers
unless some chip interaction is unusual and needs to be explained,
and then I prefer to have it explained in the code. Given that, I am
quite curious and would like to understand what you are looking for.
Thanks,
Guenter
