hwmon: Add driver for NZXT Kraken X and Z series AIO CPU coolers
This driver enables hardware monitoring support for NZXT Kraken X53/X63/X73 and Z53/Z63/Z73 all-in-one CPU liquid coolers. All models expose liquid temperature and pump speed (in RPM), as well as PWM control (natively only through a temp-PWM curve, but the driver also emulates fixed PWM control on top of that). The Z-series models additionally expose the speed and duty of an optionally connected fan, with the same PWM control capabilities. Pump and fan duty control mode can be set through pwm[1-2]_enable, where 1 is for the manual control mode and 2 is for the liquid temp to PWM curve mode. Writing a 0 disables control of the channel through the driver after setting its duty to 100%. As it is not possible to query the device for the active mode, the driver keeps track of it. The temperature of the curves relates to the fixed [20-59] C range, per device limitations, and correlating to the detected liquid temperature. Only PWM values (ranging from 0-255) can be set. The addressable RGB LEDs and LCD screen, included only on Z-series models, are not supported in this driver.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver enables hardware monitoring support for NZXT Kraken X53/X63/X73 and
+Z53/Z63/Z73 all-in-one CPU liquid coolers. All models expose liquid temperature
+and pump speed (in RPM), as well as PWM control (either as a fixed value
+or through a temp-PWM curve). The Z-series models additionally expose the speed
+and duty of an optionally connected fan, with the same PWM control capabilities.
+
+Pump and fan duty control mode can be set through pwm[1-2]_enable, where 1 is
+for the manual control mode and 2 is for the liquid temp to PWM curve mode.
+Writing a 0 disables control of the channel through the driver after setting its
+duty to 100%.
+
+The temperature of the curves relates to the fixed [20-59] range, correlating to
+the detected liquid temperature. Only PWM values (ranging from 0-255) can be set.
+If in curve mode, setting point values should be done in moderation - the devices
+require complete curves to be sent for each change; they can lock up or discard
+the changes if they are too numerous at once. Suggestion is to set them while
+in an another mode, and then apply them by switching to curve.
+
+The devices can report if they are faulty. The driver supports that situation
+and will issue a warning. This can also happen when the USB cable is connected,
+but SATA power is not.
+
+The addressable RGB LEDs and LCD screen (only on Z-series models) are not
+supported in this driver, but can be controlled through existing userspace tools,
+such as `liquidctl`_.

+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+As these are USB HIDs, the driver can be loaded automatically by the kernel and
+supports hot swapping.
+
+Possible pwm_enable values are:
+
+====== ==========================================================================
+0 Set fan to 100%
+1 Direct PWM mode (applies value in corresponding PWM entry)
+2 Curve control mode (applies the temp-PWM duty curve based on coolant temp)
+====== ==========================================================================
+
+Sysfs entries
