Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] hwmon: (w83791d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field

If driver read val value sufficient for 
(val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs. 
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().

The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

v2: 
 - split one file per patch 
 - remove lm75[] instead of adding checking
