Guenter Roeck 38d9f06c57 hwmon: (tmp401) Drop support for TMP461
TMP461 is almost identical to TMP451, which is already supported by the
lm90 driver. At the same time, unlike other sensors from the TMP401
compatible series, it only supports 8-bit temperature read operations,
and it supports negative temperatures when configured for its default
temperature range, and it supports a temperature offset register.
Supporting this chip in the tmp401 driver adds unnecessary complexity.
Remove its support from this driver and support the chip with the lm90
driver instead.

Fixes: 24333ac26d ("hwmon: (tmp401) use smb word operations instead of 2 smb byte operations")

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401, TMP411,
TMP431, TMP432, and TMP435 chips. These chips implement one or two
remote and one local temperature sensors. Temperature is measured in degrees
Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local
sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not
supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5
degree).
The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.rst under Temperatures).
The TMP411 and TMP431 chips are compatible with TMP401. TMP411 provides
some additional features.
* Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset
Exported via sysfs attributes tempX_lowest and tempX_highest.
* Reset of historical minimum/maximum temperature measurements
Exported via sysfs attribute temp_reset_history. Writing 1 to this
file triggers a reset.
TMP432 is compatible with TMP401 and TMP431. It supports two external
temperature sensors.
