Use hwmon_device_register_with_groups instead of deprecated
hwmon_device_register and fix a dmesg warning.
This patch however changes the userspace API.
hwmon_device_register_with_groups takes `hwmon' name as an argument and
creates a name file in the `hwmon' device, not in the `platform_device'.
This allows us to remove custom `name' device attribute, but in order to
make lm-sensors happy we also have to move fans and thermal attributes
to the `hwmon' device.
Even though this patch changes userspace API, it's still compatible with
the lm-sensors. Starting with lm-sensors 3.0 (circa 2007), it looks at
both hwmon and the backing device for the name and other attributes.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
