hwmon: (asus_rog_ryujin) Add per-device configuration
Move model-specific report offsets and capabilities into a device
information structure. This prepares the driver for coolers which use
a different report layout or do not include the external fan controller.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but can the initialization order in this
probe function cause a race condition leading to a NULL pointer dereference?
Further down in rog_ryujin_probe(), the driver starts the hardware and opens
the stream before initializing the completion structures:
ret = hid_hw_start(hdev, HID_CONNECT_HIDRAW);
...
ret = hid_hw_open(hdev);
...
init_completion(&priv->cooler_status_received);
If the device sends a status report immediately after hid_hw_open() is called,
rog_ryujin_raw_event() will be invoked to process it. This triggers an attempt
to use the uninitialized completion structure:
drivers/hwmon/asus_rog_ryujin.c:rog_ryujin_raw_event() {
...
if (!completion_done(&priv->cooler_status_received))
complete_all(&priv->cooler_status_received);
...
}
Because the priv structure was allocated with devm_kzalloc(), the
swait_queue_head inside the completion is initialized to all zeroes.
When complete_all() iterates over the zeroed wait queue, its task_list.next
pointer is NULL, which would cause an immediate kernel panic.
Should the init_completion() calls be moved up before hid_hw_start() to
ensure they are ready before any reports can arrive?
