I have also noticed this error in output from dmesg.
(NULL device *): hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert
the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().
$ uname -r
4.10.0-33-generic
I am using Ubuntu 16.04
The hwmon is a generic Linux kernel subsystem, providing access to
hardware monitoring components like temperature or voltage/current
sensors.
Is there a way to find out which device driver needs updating? Why does
it say (NULL device *)?
