[PATCH] powerpc/44x: Add hwmon support to Sequoia device tree

[Matthias Fuchs]

Hi,

I have chosen "hwmon" because those drivers are placed in the kernel's
drivers/hwmon subdirectory. "temp" sounds to much like "temporary" for
me :-)

We can name it "sensor" - inspired by the lm-sensors projects that 
takes care of such sensors. Because these type of devices are not always
used to monitor the whatever hardware  ... sensor could even be better.

So my favorites are sensor@ or hwmon at .

Sean, I can take your "adi" instead of "analog" for this special sensor.

Matthias
