This is done to support other functionality provided by the SBRMI, which

- Move the SBRMI core functionality and I2C device probing part to misc.

hwmon sensor.
I fail to see the logic here. Why would the supported sensor types
be a reason or an argument for moving the hwmon code out of hwmon ?

After we move the probe of i2c device to misc, we were using platform_device_register_data()
API to probe the hwmon sensor. Greg did not like this idea of probing, previously I have explored mfd cells
Yes, if there is a new restriction in the use of platform devices
(outside mfd), this should be documented.
