Subject: [PATCH v4a 6/6] hwmon: (spd5118) Add configuration option for auto-detection

With SPD5118 chip detection for the most part handled by the i2c-smbus
core using DMI information, the spd5118 driver no longer needs to
auto-detect spd5118 compliant chips.

Auto-detection by the driver is still needed on systems with no DMI support
or on systems with more than eight DIMMs and can not be removed entirely.
However, it affects boot time and introduces the risk of mis-identifying
chips. Add configuration option to be able to disable it on systems where
chip detection is handled outside the driver.

Sent as v4a to avoid resending the entire series.

v4a:
    Do not auto-select SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT if DMI is disabled
    Modify help text of SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT
    Default SENSORS_SPD5118_DETECT to y if (!DMI || !X86)
     
v4: New patch

+	  If enabled, the driver auto-detects if a chip in the SPD address

+	  if that is the case. If disabled, SPD5118 compliant devices have
+	  to be instantiated by other means. On X86 systems with DMI support
+	  this will typically be done from DMI DDR detection code in the
+	  I2C SMBus subsystem. Devicetree based systems will instantiate
+	  attached devices if the DIMMs are listed in the devicetree file.
+
+	  Disabling the detect function will speed up boot time and reduce
+	  the risk of mis-detecting SPD5118 compliant devices. However, it
