Thanks for the information. However, since I do not have time to actively maintain
the driver, since each chip variant seems to use different addresses and scales,
and since the information about voltages and currents is unpublished by AMD,
I'll remove support for voltage/current readings from the upstream driver.
I plan to send the patch doing that to Linus shortly after the commit window
closes (or even before that).

Thanks,
Guenter
