hwmon: Deprecate the fscher and fscpos drivers
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Now that the new merged fschmd driver has gained support for the watchdog
integrated into these IC's, there is no more reason to keep the old fscher
and fscpos drivers around, so mark them as deprecated.
