Subject: [PATCH 0/2] hwmon: Add include stubs

Currently, hwmon.h and hwmon-vid.h provide no stub definitions
in case hwmon/hwmon-vid support was disabled. This forces drivers
using those functions to either select CONFIG_HWMON or to use
lots of #ifdef to avoid compilation errors in such a case.
One example is the ath10k driver, but radeon and amdgpu
would also profit from being able to no longer having to select
CONFIG_HWMON.

The first patch adds include stubs to hwmon.h and hwmon-vid.h
so that drivers can omit such workarounds.

The second patch fixes a minor issue in hwmon.h.

Both patches where tested with CONFIG_HWMON set to y, m and n,
and the resulting kernel was able to boot successfully.
