hwmon: (lm70) Add TI TMP121 support
The Texas Instruments TMP121 is a SPI temperature sensor very similar to the LM70, with slightly higher resolution. This patch extends the LM70 driver to support the TMP121. The TMP123 differs in pin assign- ment. Signed-off-by: Manuel Lauss <mano@roarinelk.homelinux.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
and its associated documentation.
+The TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main differences are 4 wire SPI inter-
+face (read only) and 13-bit temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius reso-
