Subject: hwmon: w83627hf: no reset by default

From: Jean Delvare <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2005 22:52:17 +0200

Make the reset of the chips in w83627hf optional rather than the
default. This reset has been causing trouble several times already. It
may even go completely away unless it proves to be useful to at least
one user.

Closes bug #5168:
