No, not all i2c chip drivers are hardware monitoring monitors. At least
the following should stay in drivers/i2c/chips:
* ds1337
* eeprom
* isp1301_omap (what is this BTW?)
* m41t00
* pcf8574
* pcf8591
* rtc8564

And then there's atxp1, not too sure what to do with this one (it's
meant to overclock systems, not monitor them, but it shares code and
interface with hwmon).

I don't this it is a good idea. The current scheme makes it clear which
drivers create i2c busses, which are i2c chip drivers, which are
algorithms and which are core drivers. I wouldn't change that.
