hwmon: (ds1621) Remove detect function

Browse source 
Due to a lack of device and vendor identification registers, the
Dallas/Maxim DS16xx devices cannot be uniquely detected, sometimes
resulting in false positives. Therefore, the detect function is
being removed in favor of explicit device instantiation.

but the DS1621 is meant to replace it. The DS1631 and DS1721 are also
pin compatible with the DS1621, but provide multi-resolution support.
Since there is no version register, there is no unique identification
for these devices. In addition, the DS1631 and DS1721 will emulate a
DS1621 device, if not explicitly instantiated (why? because the detect
function compares the temperature register values bits and checks for a
9-bit resolution). Therefore, for correct device identification and
functionality, explicit device instantiation is required.
Since there is no version or vendor identification register, there is
no unique identification for these devices. Therefore, explicit device
instantiation is required for correct device identification and functionality.
And, for correct identification and operation, each device must be
explicitly instantiated, one device per address, in this address
range: 0x48..0x4f.
The DS1721 is pin compatible with the DS1621, has an accuracy of +/- 1.0
degree Celsius over a -10 to +85 degree range, a minimum/maximum alarm
