hwmon: do not init sensors on startup
The U-Boot Design Principles[1] clearly say: Initialize devices only when they are needed within U-Boot, i.e. don't initialize the Ethernet interface(s) unless U-Boot performs a download over Ethernet; don't initialize any IDE or USB devices unless U-Boot actually tries to load files from these, etc. (and don't forget to shut down these devices after using them - otherwise nasty things may happen when you try to boot your OS). So, do not initialize and read the sensors on startup. Signed-off-by: Heiko Schocher <hs@denx.de> cc: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> cc: Holger Brunck <holger.brunck@keymile.com>
