Justin Ledford 5b38279e1a hwmon: (max31790) add fanN_enable
The MAX31790 has a tach input enable bit in each fan's configuration
register. This is only enabled by the driver if RPM mode is selected,
but the driver doesn't provide a way to independently enable tachometer
input regardless of the regulator mode.

By adding the fanN_enable sysfs files, we can decouple the tach input
from the regulator mode. Also update the documentation.

Kernel driver max31790
======================
Supported chips:
* Maxim MAX31790
Prefix: 'max31790'

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31790 chip.
The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
pass transistor.
Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can
also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs.
