[PATCH (resend) 01/13] hwmon: Introduce SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_{RO, RW, WO} and variants

[Guenter Roeck]

Introduce SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_{RO,RW,WO} and SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2_{RO,RW,WO}
as simplified variants of SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR and SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2 to
simplify the source code, improve readbility, and reduce the chance of
inconsistencies.

 The header file linux/hwmon-sysfs.h provides a number of useful macros to
 declare and use hardware monitoring sysfs attributes.

 SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR and SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2 can be used to define attributes
 which need such additional context information. SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR requires
 one additional argument, SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2 requires two.
