There are several new HWMON drivers with Linux 6.19 including the Apple Silicon SMC, TSC1641 I2C power monitor, MPS MP9945, MAX17616, and MP2925 and MP2929. Of those the Apple Silicon SMC is quite notable.

They aren't even slow, to be honest. It's like 2 guys at Valve kicking this stuff out, and if it was standard practice for the manufacturers to divulge the registers and such for their products there would a minimal amount of trial and error and getting things to work well enough to be included directly in the kernel.
