Sensor devices depend on some bus, not a particular board.
While merged for a particular board, sensor devices don't
depend on it. They depend on a bus technology, and can be
used by any board exposing such bus.

In order to help merging sensor patches, when they fall out
of a particular board tree, add a section covering overall
sensors, to help out with patch review and merge queue
handling.

Heck. That's a blast from the past.  Applied to trivial-patches :)
