hwmon: Make chip parameter for with_info API mandatory
[ Upstream commit ddaefa209c4ac791c1262e97c9b2d0440c8ef1d5 ]
Various attempts were made recently to "convert" the old
hwmon_device_register() API to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info()
by just changing the function name without actually converting the
driver. Prevent this from happening by making the 'chip' parameter of
devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() mandatory.
