Where to place my driver

Hello kernel newbies, I am currently writing a driver for asetek 6th gen CPU coolers. Communication to these coolers goes via USB, but 3/4 (but not all!!) metrics are hwmon metrics. There is a case for either USB or hwmon but I don't know where I am supposed to put my driver. There is also the 1/4, RGB controls, these obviously don't fit in hwmon, but I don't know where to put these kinds of controls in the filesystem. If anyone could help me with these 2 choices I can start submitting my first code (I already have fan control working). Thanks, Jaap Aarts
