Use new field "num_of_modules" of MGPIR register for "hwmon" interface in order to get the number of modules supported by system directly from the system configuration, instead of getting it from port to module mapping info. Reading this info through MGPIR register is faster and does not depend on possible dynamic re-configuration of ports. In case of port dynamic re-configuration some modules can logically "disappear" as a result of port split and un-spilt operations, which can cause missing of some modules, in case this info is taken from port to module mapping info.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
