hwmon: (lm87) Add support for configuration through platform_data

Browse Source 
The lm87 driver normally assumes that firmware configured the chip
correctly.  Since this is not always the case, alllow platform code to
set the channel register value via platform_data.  All other
configuration registers can be changed after driver initialisation.

Some functions share pins, so not all functions are available at the same
time. Which are depends on the hardware setup. This driver assumes that
the BIOS configured the chip correctly. In that respect, it differs from
the original driver (from lm_sensors for Linux 2.4), which would force the
LM87 to an arbitrary, compile-time chosen mode, regardless of the actual

assumes that firmware configured the chip correctly. Where this is not
the case, platform code must set the I2C client's platform_data to point
to a u8 value to be written to the channel register.
