w83627ehf: Missing fan input and minor problems w/ PWM control

Hi Matthias,

Jean is right. I mixed up the PWM and RPM numbers there.

These things would be useful:

SpeedFan is indeed a useful tool. The author develops hardware
monitoring drivers for quite a lot of chips out there. I have used
SpeedFan on my machine, and the results match what I get from the
w83627ehf driver. But your motherboard is doing something new, in
order to drive 5 fans.
