Up to now, each hwmon driver has to implement its own sysfs attributes.
This requires a lot of template code, and distracts from the driver's core
function to read and write chip registers.
To be able to reduce driver complexity, move sensor attribute handling
and thermal zone registration into hwmon core. By using the new API,
driver code and data size is typically reduced by 20-70%, depending
on driver complexity and the number of sysfs attributes supported.
With this patch, the new API only supports thermal sensors. Support for
other sensor types will be added with subsequent patches.

Drivers using the new hwmon_device_register_with_groups API often have a
remove function which consists solely of a call hwmon_device_unregister().
Provide support for devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups and
devm_hwmon_device_unregister to allow this repeated code to be removed
and help eliminate error handling code.

hwmon_device_register_with_groups() lets callers register a hwmon device
together with all sysfs attributes in a single call.
When using hwmon_device_register_with_groups(), hwmon attributes are attached
to the hwmon device directly and no longer with its parent device.

SENSORS_LIMIT and clamp_val have the same functionality, so retire SENSORS_LIMIT
as it is no longer needed.

The <linux/device.h> header includes a lot of stuff, and
it in turn gets a lot of use just for the basic "struct device"
which appears so often.
Clean up the users as follows:
1) For those headers only needing "struct device" as a pointer
in fcn args, replace the include with exactly that.
2) For headers not really using anything from device.h, simply
delete the include altogether.
3) For headers relying on getting device.h implicitly before
being included themselves, now explicitly include device.h
4) For files in which doing #1 or #2 uncovers an implicit
dependency on some other header, fix by explicitly adding
the required header(s).
Any C files that were implicitly relying on device.h to be
present have already been dealt with in advance.
Total removals from #1 and #2: 51. Total additions coming
from #3: 9. Total other implicit dependencies from #4: 7.
As of 3.3-rc1, there were 110, so a net removal of 42 gives
about a 38% reduction in device.h presence in include/*

This patch adds the sysfs class "hwmon" for use by hardware monitoring
(sensors) chip drivers. It also fixes up the related Kconfig/Makefile
bits.
