hwmon: (core) Deprecate hwmon_device_register() 

Inform the user that hwmon_device_register() is deprecated,
and suggest conversion to the newest API. Also remove
hwmon_device_register() from the kernel API documentation.

Note that hwmon_device_register() is not marked as __deprecated()
since doing so might result in build errors.

hwmon_device_register registers a hardware monitoring device. The parameter
of this function is a pointer to the parent device.
This function returns a pointer to the newly created hardware monitoring device
or PTR_ERR for failure. If this registration function is used, hardware
monitoring sysfs attributes are expected to have been created and attached to
the parent device prior to calling hwmon_device_register. A name attribute must
have been created by the caller.
hwmon_device_register_with_groups is similar to hwmon_device_register. However,
it has additional parameters. The name parameter is a pointer to the hwmon
device name. The registration function wil create a name sysfs attribute
pointing to this name. The drvdata parameter is the pointer to the local
driver data. hwmon_device_register_with_groups will attach this pointer
to the newly allocated hwmon device. The pointer can be retrieved by the driver
using dev_get_drvdata() on the hwmon device pointer. The groups parameter is

The first parameter of this function is a pointer to the parent device.
The name parameter is a pointer to the hwmon device name. The registration
function wil create a name sysfs attribute pointing to this name.
The drvdata parameter is the pointer to the local driver data.
hwmon_device_register_with_groups will attach this pointer to the newly
allocated hwmon device. The pointer can be retrieved by the driver using
dev_get_drvdata() on the hwmon device pointer. The groups parameter is
a pointer to a list of sysfs attribute groups. The list must be NULL terminated.
hwmon_device_register_with_groups creates the hwmon device with name attribute
as well as all sysfs attributes attached to the hwmon device.
This function returns a pointer to the newly created hardware monitoring device
