This series is an early stage of the hwmon driver for the fan on the

Changes by Stefan based on [2]:
- reformat the downstream patches for submission
- drop reboot notification
- fix remaining checkpatch issues
- add COMPILE_TEST to Kconfig

The driver is mostly copy & paste from pwm-fan, which isn't good. Personally
i see two options:

1) integrate the driver function into the pwm-fan driver (new compatible)
2) implement the core function as a PWM driver and use the pwm-fan driver on top


I don't really see the point of thise driver. Why not implement either of those ?
2) sounds like a perfect fit to me.
