Guenter Roeck 0d6aaffc3a hwmon: (nct7904) Rename pwm attributes to match hwmon ABI
pwm attributes have well defined names, which should be used.

Kernel driver nct7904
====================
Supported chip:
* Nuvoton NCT7904D
Prefix: nct7904
Addresses: I2C 0x2d, 0x2e
Datasheet: Publicly available at Nuvoton website
http://www.nuvoton.com/
Author: Vadim V. Vlasov <vvlasov@dev.rtsoft.ru>
Description
-----------
The NCT7904D is a hardware monitor supporting up to 20 voltage sensors,
internal temperature sensor, Intel PECI and AMD SB-TSI CPU temperature
interface, up to 12 fan tachometer inputs, up to 4 fan control channels
with SmartFan.
Sysfs entries
-------------
Currently, the driver supports only the following features:
in[1-20]_input Input voltage measurements (mV)
fan[1-12]_input Fan tachometer measurements (rpm)
temp1_input Local temperature (1/1000 degree,
0.125 degree resolution)
temp[2-9]_input CPU temperatures (1/1000 degree,
0.125 degree resolution)
pwm[1-4]_enable R/W, 1/2 for manual or SmartFan mode
Setting SmartFan mode is supported only if it has been
previously configured by BIOS (or configuration EEPROM)
pwm[1-4] R/O in SmartFan mode, R/W in manual control mode
The driver checks sensor control registers and does not export the sensors
that are not enabled. Anyway, a sensor that is enabled may actually be not
connected and thus provide zero readings.
Limitations
-----------
The following features are not supported in current version:
- SmartFan control
- Watchdog
- GPIO
- external temperature sensors
- SMI
- min/max values
- many other...
