Hmm. This patch on its own seems simple enough, and so I should really
just apply it as soon as 3.9-rc1 is out.

Note that we (and probably others) have many device trees for boards
besides Cardhu that instantiate the LM90 driver. The driver has to
continue to work perfectly for all the patches in the series. Not
enabling the driver on Cardhu isn't enough to allow patches in the
middle of the series to break the already-working driver.
