hwmon: add HP WMI Sensors driver
Hewlett-Packard (and some HP Compaq) business-class computers report hardware monitoring information via WMI. This driver exposes that information to hwmon. Initial support is provided for temperature, fan speed, and intrusion sensor types. Provisional support is provided for voltage and current sensor types. HP's WMI implementation permits many other types of numeric sensors. Therefore, a debugfs interface is also provided to enumerate and inspect all numeric sensors visible on the WMI side. This should facilitate adding support for other sensor types in the future. Tested on a HP Z420, a HP EliteOne 800 G1, and a HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF. Note that provisionally supported sensor types are untested and seem to be rare-to-nonexistent in the wild, having been encountered neither on test systems nor in ACPI dumps from the Linux Hardware Database. They are included because their popularity in general makes their presence on past or future HP systems plausible and because no doubt exists as to how the sensors themselves would be represented in WMI (alarm attributes will need to wait for hardware to be located). A 2005 HP whitepaper gives the relevant sensor object MOF definition and sensor value scaling calculation, and both this driver and the official HP Performance Advisor utility comply with them (confirmed in the latter case by reverse engineering).
