Oh, yes, the "onnn,nct1008" can work. I read the i2c driver and the
of_i2c.c carefully, I understand why the lm90 can be loaded by setting
"onnn,nct1008". Indeed, we can set the vendor string to anything, even
"xxx,nct1008", the lm90 also can be loaded correctly.

Anyway, I will use the "onnn,nct1008" in my next version.

Thanks for your comments.
Wei.
