I don't really understand the rationale behind the move nor the rationale behind
the rename, but then I don't really care or mind as long as no one claims that
the _driver_ should be moved because the devicetree bindings moved.

Note that "basic it is a regulator" is a bit stretching. The driver's regulator
functionality must be enabled with a separate configuration option; the driver
works perfectly fine as hardware monitoring driver if SENSORS_LTC2978_REGULATOR=n.
