Should we use 'ctrl->dev' instead of 'ctrl->device'?

The 'ctrl->device' is a pointer to char device and the '->of_node' member
is NULL.

So if devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() (i.e. __hwmon_device_register)
is called with 'ctrl->device', it doesn't attempt to register a sensor to a
DT thermal zone (i.e. hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() is not called at all).

This change was required, when I tried this nvme hwmon patch with the
following DT thermal setup.

If the above change is applied, the second 'name' argument is changed
from 'nvme0' to '0000:01:00.0' as a side effect.  So we may want to
change the second argument, too.
