It doesn't solve the problem with the old API, which is that it maintains sysfs nodes locally. Besides, this patch changes the name from "applesmc" to "applesmcbacklight", it creates a name attribute in the hwmon device directory while keeping the actual hwmon attributes in the platform device directory, and the driver has another name attribute in the platform device directory. Given that, sorry, I can not accept this patch.

Hello. This is my first patch attempt on drivers so I might be completely wrong. applesmc driver was using the deprecated `hwmon_device_register` call for some reason. And that causes a deprecation warning in dmesg. I've replaced the call with `hwmon_device_register_with_info` and booted my MBP 11,2 with it. The warning is no longer shown. And the functionality doesn't seem to be broken. Thank you for reading this.
