Why? There hasn't been any objection to the change. All the discussion
seems to be around the new function (this patch) rather than the actual
conversions in drivers.

I'm entirely in favour of cleaning this up - it irks me that we're doing
exactly the same cleanup everywhere we have a hwmon.

At the very least, I would be completely in favour of keeping the
changes in the sfp and phy code.
