hwmon-vid: Ignore 6th VID pin of AMD family 0Fh processors
We had a report about a mainboard for AMD family 0Fh processors not routing the 6th VID pin from the CPU to the hardware monitoring chip. While the vendor should have wired the pin (or, failing that, should have hardwired it to level high rather than low), the fact is that none of these processors are currently known to operate at the lower voltage levels which require the 6th VID pin. So, as a practical workaround, I propose to ignore the 6th VID pin for these CPUs. If this decision ever causes problems, we'll reconsider.
