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?
