ms_sensors_i2c.c dereferences both ->hw->prom_len in
ms_sensors_tp_read_prom and ->comp_consts in
ms_sensors_read_temp_and_pressure, so an opaque ms_tp_data would require
passing both pointers as parameters. I plan on moving ms_tp_data into
ms_sensors_i2c.h, dropping the original duplicate hw, unless you prefer
otherwise.
