hwmon: (ads7828) driver cleanup
As there is no reliable way to identify the chip, it is preferable to remove the detect callback, to avoid misdetection. Module parameters are not worth it here, so let's get rid of them and add an ads7828_platform_data structure instead. Clean the code by removing unused macros, fixing coding style issues, avoiding function prototypes and using convenient macros such as module_i2c_driver().

-* int_vref: bool (default Y)

- If using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV
+The ads7828 driver accepts an optional ads7828_platform_data structure (defined
+in include/linux/platform_data/ads7828.h). The structure fields are:
+
+* diff_input: (bool) Differential operation
+ set to true for differential mode, false for default single ended mode.
+
+* ext_vref: (bool) External reference
+ set to true if it operates with an external reference, false for default
+ internal reference.
+
+* vref_mv: (unsigned int) Voltage reference
+ if using an external reference, set this to the reference voltage in mV,
+ otherwise it will default to the internal value (2500mV). This value will be
+ bounded with limits accepted by the chip, described in the datasheet.
+
+ If no structure is provided, the configuration defaults to single ended
+ operation and internal voltage reference (2.5V).

The chip also has the facility to use an external voltage reference. This
may be required if your hardware supplies the ADS7828 from a 5V supply, see
the datasheet for more details.

+There is no reliable way to identify this chip, so the driver will not scan

+statically declare the device in the platform support code.
