When load this mode, we can see the following log:
"power_meter ACPI000D:00: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please
convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info()."
So replace hwmon_device_register with hwmon_device_register_with_info.
These attributes, 'power_accuracy', 'power_cap_hyst', 'power_average_min'
and 'power_average_max', should have been placed in hwmon_chip_info as
power data type. But these attributes are displayed as string format on
the following case:
a) power1_accuracy --> display like '90.0%'
b) power1_cap_hyst --> display 'unknown' when its value is 0xFFFFFFFF
c) power1_average_min/max --> display 'unknown' when its value is
negative.
To avoid any changes in the display of these sysfs interfaces, we can't
modifiy the type of these attributes in hwmon core and have to put them
to extra_groups.
Please note that the path of these sysfs interfaces are modified
accordingly if use hwmon_device_register_with_info():
old: all sysfs interfaces are under acpi device, namely,
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/device/
now: all sysfs interfaces are under hwmon device, namely,
/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/
The new ABI does not guarantee that the underlying path remains the same.
But we have to accept this change so as to replace the deprecated API.
Fortunately, some userspace application, like libsensors, would scan
the two path and handles this automatically. So we can accept this change
so as to drop the deprecated message.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
