hwmon: (sch5627) Add pwmX_auto_channels_temp support
After doing some research, it seems that Fujitsu's hardware monitoring solution exports data describing which temperature sensors affect which fans, similar to the data in fan_source of the ftsteutates driver. Writing 0 into these registers forces the fans to full speed. Export this data with standard attributes.

SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.
+In addition, the SCH5627 exports data describing which temperature sensors
+affect the speed of each fan. Setting pwmX_auto_channels_temp to 0 forces
+the corresponding fan to full speed until another value is written.

The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
