The following patch removes limits initialization in the via686a driver.
It was decided some times ago that this belongs to user-space, not
kernel. See the thread here:
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg06134.html

It also prevents the sensor chip from being savagely reset at load time.
This too follows a decision taken long ago that drivers should do as
little as possible in their init procedure. See the thread here:
http://archives.andrew.net.au/lm-sensors/msg04593.html

This should make the driver smaller, safer and faster to load. The same
was done to our 2.4/CVS version of the driver 5 months ago and it seems
to work just fine.
