hwmon: Honeywell Humidicon HIH-6130/HIH-6131 humidity and temperature sensor driver
This is a new driver for the Honeywell Humidicon HIH-6130/HIH-6131 humidity sensor. The driver is based on the existing Sensiron sht21 driver with the necessary changes to the probe, update_measurements and conversion functions necessary to use the Honeywell sensors. There's no difference between the 6130 & 6131 other than the 6131 having an external condensation filter attached.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The HIH-6130 & HIH-6131 are humidity and temperature sensors in a SO8 package.
+The difference between the two devices is that the HIH-6131 has a condensation
+filter.
+
+The devices communicate with the I2C protocol. All sensors are set to the same
+I2C address 0x27 by default, so an entry with I2C_BOARD_INFO("hih6130", 0x27)
+can be used in the board setup code.
+
+Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for details on how to
+instantiate I2C devices.
