When registering a new thermal_device, the thermal framework
will always add a hwmon sysfs interface.

This patch adds a flag to make this behavior optional. Now
when registering a new thermal device, the caller can
optionally inform if hwmon interface is desirable. This can
be done by means of passing a thermal_zone_params.no_hwmon == true.

In order to keep same behavior as of today, all current
calls will by default create the hwmon interface.

Hello all,

So, here is then a different way of implementing same feature.
As requested by Rui, now the flag goes via thermal_zone_params,
because this seams to be the preferred way, at least in near future.

Using this method the amount of subsystems involved is reduced to 1:
thermal, as requested by Raphael. I just made is a negative flag
in order to keep the same behavior of the existing drivers, without
changing them. The flag is documented though.

All best,

Objections on this way of adding this flag?

Rui,

If you are OK, I can add this series to my tree too.
