Add Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to the list of device tree
vendor prefixes.

Thermistors for small scale applications like Mobiles and PDAs.

This changes is needed for the following reasons

1. The vendor prefix "ntc" is not defined in vendor-prefixes.txt
   Thus, giving an error when checked with scripts/checkpatch.pl
2. Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Is the vendor for the
   NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) based thermistors.
   Hence, "murata" is the right vendor-prefix, Not "ntc".
3. NTC is a technology used, But the prefix "ntc" is wrongly
   and heavily used in the driver and the documentation.
