hwmon: Add MCP3021 ADC driver
Add I2C driver for MCP3021 that is an ADC chip from Microchip.
The MCP3021 is a successive approximation A/D converter (ADC)
with 10-bit resolution.
The driver export the value of Vin to sysfs, the voltage unit is
mV. Through the sysfs interface, lm-sensors tool can also display
Vin voltage.
