Research direction
Read the issue's referenced hashcat src/hwmon.c implementation and the /sys interface it uses for AMDGPU-PRO and ROCm sensor data. Then locate John the Ripper's existing GPU monitoring entry points; done means AMD GPU hardware sensor data is exposed through the appropriate monitoring path.
