Andrew Jeffery cf583b4275 hwmon: (pmbus/max31785) Add dual tachometer support
The dual tachometer feature is implemented in hardware with a TACHSEL
input to indicate the rotor under measurement, and exposed on the device
by extending the READ_FAN_SPEED_1 word with two extra bytes*. The need
to read the non-standard four-byte response leads to a cut-down
implementation of i2c_smbus_xfer_emulated() included in the driver.
Further, to expose the second rotor tachometer value to userspace the
values are exposed through virtual pages. We re-route accesses to
FAN_CONFIG_1_2 and READ_FAN_SPEED_1 on pages 23-28 (not defined by the
hardware) to the same registers on pages 0-5, and with the latter command
we extract the value from the second word of the four-byte response.

* The documentation recommends the slower rotor be associated with
TACHSEL=0, which corresponds to the first word of the response. The
TACHSEL=0 measurement is used by the controller's closed-loop fan
management to judge target fan rate.

Kernel driver max31785

Description
-----------
The Maxim MAX31785 is a PMBus device providing closed-loop, multi-channel fan
management with temperature and remote voltage sensing. Various fan control
features are provided, including PWM frequency control, temperature hysteresis,
dual tachometer measurements, and fan health monitoring.
For dual-rotor configurations the MAX31785A exposes the second rotor tachometer
readings in attributes fan[5-8]_input. By contrast the MAX31785 only exposes
the slowest rotor measurement, and does so in the fan[1-4]_input attributes.
Usage Notes
-----------
This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
devices explicitly.
