Before this patch the f71882fg driver completely fails to initialize

it disables all auto pwm sysfs attributes if any fan is controlled by
a digital sensor reading.

This patch changes the fail to initialize into don't register any attributes
for the fan for which there are reserved settings in the pwm enable register
and also makes the not registering of auto pwm sysfs attributes a per fan
thing.

Given that this is no longer a pure hwmon driver, it may make sense to
split it into separate mfd/hwmon/watchdog drivers. But on the other side
I notice that other drivers in the hwmon directory implement watchdog
functionality as well. Bad precedent :(. Wonder what happens with those
watchdogs if HWMON is disabled.

Not really sure if we should let this happen, or start being more
restrictive and enforce cleaner code. Jean, any thoughts/comments ?

It seems that you put this reply in the wrong thread? Can you please copy
paste to the right thread (with the CC list intact so that the watchdog people
get it too). Then I'll reply there.

Thanks,

Hans
