Subject: [PATCH 1/2] hwmon: Add pwmX_fan_channel attribute

Until now, userspace software needs to guess which
PWM channel is associated with which fan channel by
probing each PWM output and watch for fan speed changes.
This proccess is error-prone and unreliable.

Some hwmon chips, especially firmware-based ones, already
know which PWM output is associated with which fan channel.

Allow such chips to export this knowledge to userspace.
