Neelesh Gupta 24c1aa8587 hwmon: (powerpc/powernv) hwmon driver for power, fan rpm, voltage and temperature
This patch adds basic kernel support for reading power values, fan
speed rpm, voltage and temperature data on powernv platforms which
will be exported to user space through sysfs interface.

Kernel Driver IBMPOWERNV
========================
Supported systems:
* Any recent IBM P servers based on POWERNV platform
Author: Neelesh Gupta
Description
-----------
This driver implements reading the platform sensors data like temperature/fan/
voltage/power for 'POWERNV' platform.
The driver uses the platform device infrastructure. It probes the device tree
for sensor devices during the __init phase and registers them with the 'hwmon'.
'hwmon' populates the 'sysfs' tree having attribute files, each for a given
sensor type and its attribute data.
All the nodes in the DT appear under "/ibm,opal/sensors" and each valid node in
the DT maps to an attribute file in 'sysfs'. The node exports unique 'sensor-id'
which the driver uses to make an OPAL call to the firmware.
Usage notes
-----------
The driver is built statically with the kernel by enabling the config
CONFIG_SENSORS_IBMPOWERNV. It can also be built as module 'ibmpowernv'.
Sysfs attributes
----------------
fanX_input Measured RPM value.
fanX_min Threshold RPM for alert generation.
fanX_fault 0: No fail condition
1: Failing fan
tempX_input Measured ambient temperature.
tempX_max Threshold ambient temperature for alert generation.
inX_input Measured power supply voltage
inX_fault 0: No fail condition.
1: Failing power supply.
power1_input System power consumption (microWatt)
