Jean Delvare 2409ee71bf Add support for the W83637HF.
Update the docs accordingly.
        Rename PWM registers so that it is clearer which chip uses them.
        Remove outdated comments.
        Fix the name in the w83627hf_driver structure.
        Fix reserved register and PWM bits being written to on the W83627THF.

Module Parameters
-----------------
* force: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs to boldly assume to be present
* force_addr: int
Program the Super I/O register for the sensors ISA base address
* force_w83627hf: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs which are unquestionably assumed to contain
a `w83781d' chip
* force_w83627thf:
Ditto
* force_w83697hf:
Ditto
* force_w83637hf:
Ditto
* ignore: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs not to scan
* ignore_range: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples not to scan
* probe: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,address pairs to scan additionally
* probe_range: short array (min = 1, max = 48)
List of adapter,start-addr,end-addr triples to scan additionally

Use 'init=0' to bypass initializing the chip.
Try this if your computer crashes when you load the module.
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.
We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
initialization that were required in the w83781d driver
(lm_sensors releases 2.7.0 and earlier).
If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
now that this ISA driver has been developed.
Technically, the w83627thf does not support a VID reading. However, it's
possible or even likely that your mainboard maker has routed these signals
to a specific set of general purpose IO pins (the Asus P4C800-E is one such
board). The w83627thf driver now interprets these as VID. If the VID on
your board doesn't work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package. If
that still doesn't help, email us at sensors@stimpy.netroedge.com.
For further information on this driver, /proc values, etc.
see the w83781d driver documentation.
