hwmon/f71805f: Add support for the Fintek F71872F/FG chip
Add support for the Fintek F71872F/FG Super-I/O chip. It is basically the same as the Fintek F71805F/FG as far as hardware monitoring is concerned, with two additional internal voltages monitored (VSB and battery), and 6 VID inputs (not yet supported.) To make things a bit more confusing, two of the voltage input pins (in4 and in8) can be used for other functions. The driver reads the pin configuration from the Super-I/O configuration space to decide whether it must create interface files for these inputs or not. Many thanks to Nikolay Derkach for testing the early iterations of this code and reporting bugs. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
