    hwmon: (mlxreg-fan) Add support for Mellanox FAN driver · 65afb4c8

    Driver obtains PWM and tachometers registers location according to the
    system configuration and creates FAN/PWM hwmon objects and a cooling
    device. PWM and tachometers are controlled through the on-board
    programmable device, which exports its register map. This device could be
    attached to any bus type, for which register mapping is supported. Single
    instance is created with one PWM control, up to 12 tachometers and one
    cooling device. It could be as many instances as programmable device
    supports.
    
    Currently driver will be activated from the Mellanox platform driver:
    drivers/platform/x86/mlx-platform.c.
    For the future ARM based systems it could be activated from the ARM
    platform module.
