hwmon: Deprecate [devm_]hwmon_device_register_with_groups
Even though the hardware monitoring documentation already stated that new
drivers should use [devm_]devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() to
register with the hardware monitoring subsystem, we still get submissions
for new drivers using the older APIs. There is no benefit to use those
APIs. On the contrary, using the older APIs results in substantially larger
code size. Explicitly deprecate [devm_]hwmon_device_register_with_groups()
to ensure that all new drivers use the latest API.
