hwmon: (lm63) Expose automatic fan speed control lookup table
The LM63 and compatible devices have a lookup table to control the fan speed automatically. Expose it in sysfs. Values are cached for 5 seconds, independently of the other register values to avoid slowing down "sensors". We might make the table values writable in the future.

The lm63 driver will not update its values more frequently than configured with

The LM64 is effectively an LM63 with GPIO lines. The driver does not
support these GPIO lines at present.
