These patches having a title ('Use HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO macro to simplify 
code') are also for this series.
Or we need to modify the type of the 'xxx_config' array in these patches.
If we directly use the macro HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO, the type of 'config' 
has been modifyed in patch 1/21 and these driver don't need to care this 
change.
