Heiner Kallweit 7a0564448a hwmon: Drop non-functional I2C_CLASS_HWMON support for drivers w/o detect()
Class-based I2C probing requires detect() and address_list both
to be set in the I2C client driver, see checks in i2c_detect().
It's misleading to declare I2C_CLASS_HWMON support if the driver
doesn't implement detect().
Class-based probing is a legacy mechanism, in addition apparently
nobody ever noticed that class-based probing has been non-functional
in both drivers from the very beginning. So drop the fragments of
class-based probing support.

Kernel driver emc2305
=====================
Supported chips:
Microchip EMC2305, EMC2303, EMC2302, EMC2301
Prefixes: 'emc2305'
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Microchip website :
https://www.microchip.com/en-us/product/EMC2305
Description:
------------
This driver implements support for Microchip EMC2301/2/3/5 RPM-based PWM Fan Controller.
The EMC2305 Fan Controller supports up to 5 independently controlled PWM fan drives.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM.
The driver supports the RPM-based PWM control to keep a fan at the desired speed.
The driver provides the possibility to have one common PWM interface for all FANs
or up to the maximum available or configured independent PWMs.
The driver provides the following sysfs interfaces in hwmon subsystem:
================= == ===================================================
fan[1-5]_fault RO files for tachometers TACH1-TACH5 fault indication
fan[1-5]_input RO files for tachometers TACH1-TACH5 input (in RPM)
pwm[1-5] RW file for fan[1-5] target duty cycle (0..255)
================= == ===================================================
sysfs interfaces in thermal subsystem:
================= == ========================================================================
cur_state RW file for the current cooling state of the cooling device (0..max_state)
max_state RO file for the maximum cooling state of the cooling device
================= == ========================================================================
