Guenter Roeck 9049572fb1 hwmon: Remove amd_energy driver ... Commit 60268b0e82 ("hwmon: (amd_energy) modify the visibility of the counters") restricted visibility of AMD energy counters to work around a side-channel attack using energy data to determine which instructions are executed. The attack is described in 'PLATYPUS: Software-based Power Side-Channel Attacks on x86'. It relies on quick and accurate energy readings. This change made the counters provided by the amd_energy driver effectively unusable for non-provileged users. However, unprivileged read access is the whole point of hardware monitoring attributes. An attempt to remedy the situation by limiting and randomizing access to chip registers was rejected by AMD. Since the driver is for all practical purposes unusable, remove it.
