Just tmp401, please.

Did you check first if the TMP401 was compatible with another device we
already support? After a quick look, the register map reminds me those
of the LM90/ADM1032 a lot. It would be worth checking that the TMP401
device couldn't be supported by the lm90 driver by just adding the
device and manufacturer ID...

Also, I suggest that you add detection for the TMP401 to sensors-detect
right away. That's the best way to find early testers for your work.
