hwmon: Add hwmon driver for Intel MAX 10 BMC
This patch adds hwmon functionality for Intel MAX 10 BMC chip. This BMC chip connects to a set of sensor chips to monitor current, voltage, thermal and power of different components on board. The BMC firmware is responsible for sensor data sampling and recording in shared registers. Host driver reads the sensor data from these shared registers and exposes them to users as hwmon interfaces.

+Kernel driver intel-m10-bmc-hwmon
+=================================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+ * Intel MAX 10 BMC for Intel PAC N3000
+
+ Prefix: 'n3000bmc-hwmon'

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver adds the temperature, voltage, current and power reading
+support for the Intel MAX 10 Board Management Controller (BMC) chip.
+The BMC chip is integrated in some Intel Programmable Acceleration
+Cards (PAC). It connects to a set of sensor chips to monitor the
+sensor data of different components on the board. The BMC firmware is
+responsible for sensor data sampling and recording in shared
+registers. The host driver reads the sensor data from these shared
+registers and exposes them to users as hwmon interfaces.
+
+The BMC chip is implemented using the Intel MAX 10 CPLD. It could be
+reprogramed to some variants in order to support different Intel
+PACs. The driver is designed to be able to distinguish between the
+variants, but now it only supports the BMC for Intel PAC N3000.
