[PATCHv2 3/5] drivers: thermal: make usage of CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON optional

[Eduardo Valentin]

When registering a new thermal_device, the thermal framework
will always add a hwmon sysfs interface.

This patch adds a flag to make this behavior optional. Now
when registering a new thermal device, the caller can
optionally inform if hwmon interface is desirable. This can
be done by means of passing a thermal_zone_params.no_hwmon == true.

In order to keep same behavior as of today, all current
calls will by default create the hwmon interface.

Hello all,

So, here is then a different way of implementing same feature.
As requested by Rui, now the flag goes via thermal_zone_params,
because this seams to be the preferred way, at least in near future.

Using this method the amount of subsystems involved is reduced to 1:
thermal, as requested by Raphael. I just made is a negative flag
in order to keep the same behavior of the existing drivers, without
changing them. The flag is documented though.

All best,
