Ok, if the hardware has no mechanism for reporting the instantaneous
draw then I can see it not working well in an hwmon sense. But I'd
really prefer to see this look far more generic than it does - surely
other hardware has similar functionality?
I've not seen any - not anything

Seems to me there is some hair splitting going on here. Core element of
hwmon drivers is that there are reported temperatures, voltages, current,
power,
hwmon includes support for exposing the instantaneous current draw.
hwmon includes support for triggering events if a parameter crosses a
threshold. I still don't see why this isn't an hwmon driver, perhaps
with a small platform driver for the more estoric bits of the setup.

This patch enables over current detection on the Intel Medfield
Platform. This driver provides sysfs interfaces to configure current
thresholds. When the current being drawn on the platform exceeds
the configured threshold, an interrupt is generated. This
