OK, I have to accept Mark's idea then.

Would it make sense to accept both fanN_pwm and pwmN, and use the
approriate entries depending on the chip? It would also mean two
possible names for auto-fan contol files (it87 model), so there would be
three possible sets of names instead of two. This is not good, but OTOH,
using pwmN for SMSC-like chips will probably make the user wonder why
fan1 will stop monitoring when pwm1 is set to 0% duty cycle...

So I guess we better simply revert to pwmN as Mark suggested.
