hwmon/it87: Remove the SMBus interface support
This interface was useless as the LPC ISA-like interface is always available, is faster, and is more reliable. This cuts the driver size by some 20%. This change is also required to later convert the it87 driver to a platform driver, so that we can get rid of i2c-isa in a near future. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

56Hardware Interfaces
57-------------------

59All the chips suported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
60through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
61SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
62longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
63than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
64motherboard models.
