hwmon: (lm75) cleanup/reorg
Minor cleanup and reorg of the lm75 code.
- Kconfig provides a larger list of lm75-compatible chips
- A top comment now says what the driver does (!) ... as in, just
what sort of sensor is this??
- Section comments now delineate the various sections of the driver:
hwmon attributes, driver binding, register access, module glue.
One driver binding function moved out of the attribute section,
as did the driver struct itself.
- Minor tweaks to legacy probe logic: correct a comment, and
remove a pointless variable.
- Whitespace, linelength, and comment fixes.
This patch should include no functional changes. It's preparation
for adding new-style (driver model) I2C driver binding.

tristate "National Semiconductor LM75 and compatibles"
depends on I2C
help
- If you say yes here you get support for National Semiconductor LM75
- sensor chips and clones: Dallas Semiconductor DS75 and DS1775 (in
- 9-bit precision mode), and TelCom (now Microchip) TCN75.
+ If you say yes here you get support for one common type of
+ temperature sensor chip, with models including:
- The DS75 and DS1775 in 10- to 12-bit precision modes will require
- a force module parameter. The driver will not handle the extra
- precision anyhow.
+ - Dallas Semiconductor DS75 and DS1775
+ - Maxim MAX6625 and MAX6626
+ - Microchip MCP980x
+ - National Semiconductor LM75
+ - NXP's LM75A
+ - ST Microelectronics STDS75
+ - TelCom (now Microchip) TCN75
+ - Texas Instruments TMP100, TMP101, TMP75, TMP175, TMP275
+
+ Most of these chips will require a "force" module parameter.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called lm75.
