Since this driver was merged in 2011 nothing in the kernel
has ever used the platform data intended for boardfiles.

Drop this support burden: everyone and their dog is using
this with OF and IIO now.

If there are out-of-tree users who need this, this is the
time to start submitting that platform upstream and stop
working in the shadows. (This will invariably involve having
to convert the platform to OF (or ACPI!).)

Linus Walleij (4):
  hwmon: (ntc_thermistor) Merge platform data into driver
  hwmon: (ntc_thermistor) Drop get_ohm()
  hwmon: (ntc_thermistor) Drop read_uv() depend on OF and IIO
  hwmon: (ntc_thermistor) Merge platform data

The series looks reasonable to me. I'll apply it to hwmon-next.
