hwmon: Add MCP3021 ADC driver
Add I2C driver for MCP3021 that is an ADC chip from Microchip. The MCP3021 is a successive approximation A/D converter (ADC) with 10-bit resolution. The driver export the value of Vin to sysfs, the voltage unit is mV. Through the sysfs interface, lm-sensors tool can also display Vin voltage.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Microchip Technology MCP3021 chip.
+
+The Microchip Technology Inc. MCP3021 is a successive approximation A/D
+converter (ADC) with 10-bit resolution.
+This device provides one single-ended input with very low power consumption.
+Communication to the MCP3021 is performed using a 2-wire I2C compatible
+interface. Standard (100 kHz) and Fast (400 kHz) I2C modes are available.
+The default I2C device address is 0x4d (contact the Microchip factory for
+additional address options).
