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.
