hwmon: (lm78) Prevent misdetection of Winbond chips
The LM78 detection is relatively weak, and sometimes recent Winbond chips can be misdetected as an LM78. We have had repeated reports of this happening. We have an explicit check against this for the ISA access, do the same for I2C access now. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
