hwmon: (aspeed-g6-pwm-tacho): Support for ASPEED g6 PWM/Fan tach

The driver support two functions: PWM and Tachometer. The PWM feature can
handle up to 16 output ports, while the Tachometer can monitor to up to 16
input ports as well. This driver implements them by exposing two kernel
subsystems: PWM and HWMON. The PWM subsystem can be utilized alongside
existing drivers for controlling elements such as fans (pwm-fan.c),
beepers (pwm-beeper.c) and so on. Through the HWMON subsystem, the driver
provides sysfs interfaces for fan.

+Description:
+------------
+This driver implements support for ASPEED AST2600 Fan Tacho controller.
+The controller supports up to 16 tachometer inputs.
+
+The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs:
+
+=============== ======= ======================================================
+fanX_input	ro	provide current fan rotation value in RPM as reported
+			by the fan to the device.
+fanX_div	rw	Fan divisor: Supported value are power of 4 (1, 4, 16
+                        64, ... 4194304)
+                        The larger divisor, the less rpm accuracy and the less
+                        affected by fan signal glitch.
+=============== ======= ======================================================
