Thank Andrew for your feedback!

Hi Andrew,
I checked the discussion at 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/f76798ea-6edd-4888-8057-c09aaed88f25@roeck-us.net/ 
. It seems the maintainers don't want to use the "pmbus" compatible for 
specific devices. The maintaners require an explicitly compatible from 
device list in drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.c . Please correct me if I'm 
wrong anything!

This is device list from drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.c

	{"adp4000", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"bmr310", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_status},
	{"bmr453", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"bmr454", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"bmr456", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"bmr457", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"bmr458", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_status},
	{"bmr480", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_status},
	{"bmr490", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_status},
	{"bmr491", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_status},
	{"bmr492", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"dps460", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_skip},
	{"dps650ab", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_skip},
	{"dps800", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_skip},
	{"max20796", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"mdt040", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"ncp4200", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"ncp4208", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"pdt003", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"pdt006", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"pdt012", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"pmbus", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_zero},
	{"sgd009", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one_skip},
	{"tps40400", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"tps544b20", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"tps544b25", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"tps544c20", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"tps544c25", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},
	{"udt020", (kernel_ulong_t)&pmbus_info_one},

My device is similar with the "pmbus" compatible about the 
"pmbus_info_zero" attribute. So I chose the "pmbus" compatible string 
for my device. If the maintainers require an explicitly compatible from 
device list in drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.c but not "pmbus", then I must 
add my device compatible string to the list in 
drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus.c . Please help me confirm my understanding.

Thanks,
Chanh
