hwmon: (nct6775) Add support for weighted fan control
The NCT677X series support weighted fan control. In this mode, a secondary temperature source is used in addition to the primary temperature source to control fan speed. Add support for this feature. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
