Subject: [PATCH 1/3] hwmon: (ftsteutates) Fix scaling of measurements

A user complained that the ftsteutates driver was displaying
bogus values since its introduction. This happens because the
sensor measurements need to be scaled in order to produce
meaningful results:
- the fan speed needs to be multiplied by 60 since its in RPS
- the temperature is in degrees celsius and needs an offset of 64
- the voltage is in 1/256 of 3.3V

The offical datasheet says the voltage needs to be divided by 256,
but this is likely an off-by-one-error, since even the BIOS
devides by 255 (otherwise 3.3V could not be measured).

The voltage channels additionally need a board-specific multiplier,
however this can be done by the driver since its board-specific.

The reason the missing scaling of measurements is the way Fujitsu
used this driver when it was still out-of-tree. Back then, all
scaling was done in userspace by libsensors, even the generic one.

Tested on a Fujitsu DS3401-B1.
