This driver implements support for Winbond W83793G/W83793R chips.
* Exported features
- This driver exports 10 voltage sensors, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs,
- 6 remote temperatures, up to 8 sets of PWM fan controls, SmartFan
- (automatic fan speed control) on all temperature/PWM combinations, 2
- sets of 6-pin CPU VID input.

* Sensor resolutions
- If your motherboard maker used the reference design, the resolution of
- voltage0-2 is 2mV, resolution of voltage3/4/5 is 16mV, 8mV for voltage6,
- 24mV for voltage7/8. Temp1-4 have a 0.25 degree Celsius resolution,

* Temperature sensor types
- Temp1-4 have 2 possible types. It can be read from (and written to)
- temp[1-4]_type.
- - If the value is 3, it starts monitoring using a remote termal diode
- (default).
- - If the value is 6, it starts monitoring using the temperature sensor
- in Intel CPU and get result by PECI.
- Temp5-6 can be connected to external thermistors (value of
- temp[5-6]_type is 4).

* Alarm mechanism
- For voltage sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below
- the low voltage limit or over the high voltage limit.
- For temperature sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value goes
- above the high temperature limit, and wears off only after the measured
- value drops below the hysteresis value.
- For fan sensors, an alarm triggers if the measured value is below the
- low speed limit.

* SmartFan/PWM control
- If you want to set a pwm fan to manual mode, you just need to make sure it
- is not controlled by any temp channel, for example, you want to set fan1
- to manual mode, you need to check the value of temp[1-6]_fan_map, make
- sure bit 0 is cleared in the 6 values. And then set the pwm1 value to
- control the fan.
-
- Each temperature channel can control all the 8 PWM outputs (by setting the
- corresponding bit in tempX_fan_map), you can set the temperature channel
- mode using temp[1-6]_pwm_enable, 2 is Thermal Cruise mode and 3
- is the SmartFanII mode. Temperature channels will try to speed up or
- slow down all controlled fans, this means one fan can receive different
- PWM value requests from different temperature channels, but the chip
- will always pick the safest (max) PWM value for each fan.
-
- In Thermal Cruise mode, the chip attempts to keep the temperature at a
- predefined value, within a tolerance margin. So if tempX_input >
- thermal_cruiseX + toleranceX, the chip will increase the PWM value,
- if tempX_input < thermal_cruiseX - toleranceX, the chip will decrease
- the PWM value. If the temperature is within the tolerance range, the PWM
- value is left unchanged.
-
- SmartFanII works differently, you have to define up to 7 PWM, temperature
- trip points, defining a PWM/temperature curve which the chip will follow.
- While not fundamentally different from the Thermal Cruise mode, the
- implementation is quite different, giving you a finer-grained control.
