Porting hwmon sensors to openBMC

[Patrick Venture]

Lei is correct. If you want, however, to read the sensors over IPMI
you'll need to add a yaml configuration for the sensors as well for
phosphor-host-ipmid.
See https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/meta-openbmc-machines/meta-x86/meta-quanta/meta-q71l/recipes-phosphor/ipmi/q71l-ipmi-sensor-map/config.yaml
for an example.
