hwmon: (lm90) Only re-read registers if volatile

Browse source

When reading 16-bit volatile registers, the code uses a trick to
determine if a temperature is consistent: It reads the high part
of the register twice. If the values are the same, the code assumes
that the reading is consistent. If the value differs, the code
re-reads the second register as well and assumes that it now has
correct values.

This is only necessary for volatile registers. Add a parameter to
lm90_read16() to indicate if the register is volatile to avoid the
extra overhead for non-volatile registers.
