rpi-sense-overlay.dts has humidity sensor named hts221-humid while upstream hts221 iio driver expect its to be named hts221 #2300

See title. When the device is renamed hts221 iio driver works fine with the hts221 device on the rpi-sense-hat. Without renaming the hts221 iio driver wont access this device.

Also in the rpi defconfig the hts221 driver isn't included. Maybe that should change too if a hts221 device is provided with rpi-sense hat

At the time the overlay was written, the kernel driver did not work properly, so we access the device through the userland instead. I'm happy to revisit it when I get a chance.

@XECDesign Any progress?

No, it's not even in the cards for the foreseeable future.
