The hwmon subsystem registers itself excessively late when it's not linked as a module. That can cause problems when multifunction chips, that happen to have hwmon capabilities and live outside the hwmon subdirectory, need to initialize earlier than on various platforms. This patch makes the hwmon subsystem code register itself appropriately early: as a subsystem, like other subsystems.
