hwmon: (lm92) Update documentation
Update datasheet references. Replace misleading 'force parameter needed' with 'must be instantiated explicitly'. Explain the reason for the missing auto-detection. Mention all supported chips in Kconfig. Reviewed-by: Tzung-Bi Shih <tzungbi@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

Description
-----------
-This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM92
-temperature sensor.
+This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor / Texas
+Instruments LM92 temperature sensor.
Each LM92 temperature sensor supports a single temperature sensor. There are
alarms for high, low, and critical thresholds. There's also an hysteresis to
control the thresholds for resetting alarms.
-Support was added later for the LM76 and Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635,
-which are mostly compatible. They have not all been tested, so you
-may need to use the force parameter.
+The driver also supports LM76 and Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635, which are
+mostly compatible but do not have a vendor ID register and therefore must be
+instantiated explicitly.
