hwmon: (pc87427) Add temperature monitoring support

Browse Source 
Add support for the 6 temperature monitoring channels of the PC87427.
Note that the sensors resolution can vary, and I couldn't find a way
to figure it out, so we might have to compensate in user-space.

The National Semiconductor Super I/O chip includes complete hardware
monitoring capabilities. It can monitor up to 18 voltages, 8 fans and
6 temperature sensors. Only the fans are supported at the moment.
6 temperature sensors. Only the fans and temperatures are supported at
the moment, voltages aren't.
This chip also has fan controlling features (up to 4 PWM outputs),
which are partly supported by this driver.

always off, always on, manual and automatic. The latter isn't supported
by the driver: you can only return to that mode if it was the original
setting, and the configuration interface is missing.
Temperature Monitoring
----------------------
The PC87427 relies on external sensors (following the SensorPath
standard), so the resolution and range depend on the type of sensor
connected. The integer part can be 8-bit or 9-bit, and can be signed or
not. I couldn't find a way to figure out the external sensor data
temperature format, so user-space adjustment (typically by a factor 2)
may be required.
