hwmon: w83795: Fan control option isn't that dangerous
I have been using SENSORS_W83795_FANCTRL for several years and never had any problem. When the driver was added, I had not tested that part of the driver yet so I wanted to be super cautious, but time has shown that it works just fine. In the long run I even believe that we should drop the option and enable the feature unconditionally. It doesn't do anything until the user explicitly starts twiddling with sysfs attributes anyway.

help
If you say yes here, support for automatic fan speed control
will be included in the driver.
- This part of the code wasn't carefully reviewed and tested yet,
- so enabling this option is strongly discouraged on production
- servers. Only developers and testers should enable it for the
- time being.
-
Please also note that this option will create sysfs attribute
files which may change in the future, so you shouldn't rely
on them being stable.
