Some Marvell switches provide chip temperature data.
Add support for reporting it to the dsa infrastructure.

Hi Florian,

unfortunately, that won't work; I had it initially and got a nice
error message
from Fengguang's build test bot.
Then the Kconfig dependencies are broken.

Fix Kconfig to only allow legal combinations.
I see two options for that:

- Add
     select HWMON
   to the NET_DSA Kconfig entry.
   Example is Broadcom TIGON3 driver.

- Add a DSA_HWMON Kconfig entry to define the dependencies and
   to let the user select if the functionality should be enabled.
   Example is Intel IGB driver.

Any preference from your side ? If no, I'll go with the latter.
I would prefer DSA_HWMON personaly, though no strong feelings. Since 
this is the most debated patch in this patch set, how about you drop it 
from your v2 and we sort this one out separately?
