[PATCH v3] hwmon: Make name attribute mandatory for new APIs

[Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>]

It does not make sense to use one of the the new APIs when not
even providing a name attribute. Make it mandatory.

v3: hwmon_device_register() needs to call __hwmon_device_register() directly.
v2: One should use ERR_PTR where appropriate
