This is normal for this sort of auxiliary ADC - they're *normally* used
for system monitoring and should show up in hwmon but are more general
purpose than that so you get a MFD core which drives the actual ADC and
a hwomon driver which uses the core to expose things to userspace.

Sadly we don't have a subsystem for ADCs yet, IIO might be it but it's
really designed for much higher volume ADCs.
