Jean Delvare 3300fb4f88 hwmon: (w83627ehf) Force initial bank selection
Don't assume bank 0 is selected at device probe time. This may not be
the case. Force bank selection at first register access to guarantee
that we read the right registers upon driver loading.

Uwe Kleine-König 6f7805a8d9 hwmon: (w83627ehf) mark const init data with __initconst instead of __initdata
As long as there is no other non-const variable marked __initdata in the
same compilation unit it doesn't hurt. If there were one however
compilation would fail with

	error: $variablename causes a section type conflict

because a section containing const variables is marked read only and so
cannot contain non-const variables.

Jean Delvare bf164c58e5 hwmon: (w83627ehf) Properly report thermal diode sensors
The w83627ehf driver is improperly reporting thermal diode sensors as
type 2, instead of 3. This caused "sensors" and possibly other
monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of
"thermal diode".

Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only
supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support
CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in
question so we should avoid reading from it.

Since the fan speed value can be above 0xff, we can no longer use
that value to determine if the fan speed reading is valid. This

If we store rpm instead of the fan speed register value, we do not
need to correct it if the fan divisor value is changed, and the above
mentioned problem no longer exists.

Some of the chips supported by this driver have 13 bit or 16 bit fan count
registers. This patch improves support for those registers, specifically for
NCT6775F. With the changes in this patch, fan speed is reported correctly even
if the fan divider is set to a low value, which results in a fan speed reading
above 0xff.

With this patch, the width of fan count registers is no longer used to determine
if the chip has fan divider register(s) or not. A dedicated flag is used instead
to determine if this is the case.

all Super-I/O and PCI drivers.

I've voluntarily left out:
* Vendor-specific drivers: if they conflicted on any system, this would
  pretty much mean that they conflict on all systems, and we would know
  by now.
* Legacy ISA drivers (lm78 and w83781d): they only support chips found
  on old designs were ACPI either wasn't supported or didn't deal with
  thermal management.
* Drivers accessing the I/O resources indirectly (e.g. through SMBus):
  the checks are already done where they belong, i.e. in the bus drivers.

Jean Delvare cbe311f2a4 hwmon: (w83627ehf) The W83627DHG has 8 VID pins
While the W83627EHF/EHG has only 6 VID pins, the W83627DHG has 8 VID
pins, to support VRD 11.0. Add support for this.

Jean Delvare 67b671bceb hwmon: Let the user override the detected Super-I/O device ID
While it is possible to force SMBus-based hardware monitoring chip
drivers to drive a not officially supported device, we do not have this
possibility for Super-I/O-based drivers. That's unfortunate because
sometimes newer chips are fully compatible and just forcing the driver
to load would work. Instead of that we have to tell the users to
recompile the kernel driver, which isn't an easy task for everyone.

So, I propose that we add a module parameter to all Super-I/O based
hardware monitoring drivers, letting advanced users force the driver
to load on their machine. The user has to provide the device ID of a
supposedly compatible device. This requires looking at the source code or
a datasheet, so I am confident that users can't randomly force a driver
without knowing what they are doing. Thus this should be relatively safe.

As you can see from the code, the implementation is pretty simple and
unintrusive.

Jean Delvare 58e6e78119 hwmon: (w83627ehf) Be more careful when changing VID input level
The VID input level change has been reported to cause trouble. Be more
careful in this respect:
* Only change the level on the W83627EHF/EHG. The W83627DHG is more
  complex in this respect.
* Don't change the level if the VID pins are in output mode.
* Only set the level to TTL if VRM 9.x is used.
