hwmon: ntc_thermistor: Add another ntc(epcos) to the driver

hwmon: ntc_thermistor: Add another ntc(epcos) to the driver

[Johannes Pointner]

As I saw in the latest patches for the ntc_thermistor, in which as
part of the patch the module description changed to :

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("NTC Thermistor Driver from Murata");

I wanted to know if it is intended to extend the driver for further
manufacturers like in my case for an epcos ntc in the future?

Of course I would create the necessary patch.

Thanks,
Hannes

If there is enough compatibility, then yes, of course.

Sure, why not ? Better than create an entirely new driver which would
be all the same but for the tables. The comment is misleading anyway
(the driver is for Murata thermistors, not from them), so we can
always drop the "from Murata".

Why not move the table to DT? There are lots of NTC types out there, and 
each type comes in an number of varietes. IMHO it seems impractical to 
change the code for each one, and the tables would grow to be very large.

The ntc_thermistor.c currently, supports ncpXXXX
(all thermistors from Murata).  Thus, My assumption.

Please post your patches for supporting other thermistors. If there
is enough compatibility.

We can drop off the "from Murata" in MODULE_DESCRIPTION()
and In the Kconfig file.
I can submit a change for the same.

Hello Naveen,

I already sent a patch.
Thank you for your suggestions.
