Register hwmon device as last operation in the probe function to ensure that all
attribute files exist when accessed from user applications. Otherwise, there
is a short time frame where the device is registered as hwmon device but
sysfs attributes do not yet exist. This could result in applications erroneously
not detecting attributes.
