Hello.
This is my first patch attempt on drivers so I might be completely wrong.
applesmc driver was using the deprecated `hwmon_device_register` call for
some reason. And that causes a deprecation warning in dmesg.
I've replaced the call with `hwmon_device_register_with_info` and booted
my MBP 11,2 with it.
The warning is no longer shown. And the functionality doesn't seem to be
broken.
Thank you for reading this.
