🌸 NAME 🌸

devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups — register w/ hwmon

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole vibe is literally this:

struct device * devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups (struct device
*dev , const char *name , void *drvdata , const struct attribute_group
**groups );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the parent device. yes, the main character device. 👑
• name — hwmon name attribute. it’s the name, bestie. 💅
• drvdata — driver data to attach to the created device. lowkey important baggage. 🧳
• groups — List of attribute groups to create. note the capital L, we keep it cute and exact. ✨

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns the pointer to the new device. that’s the whole return vibe. 🫶

The new device is automatically unregistered with the parent device. so yeah, it cleans up after itself — no manual unregister arc needed. periodt. 🔥
