This driver adds support for the hardware monitoring features of the Summit
Microelectronics SMM665 Six-Channel Active DC Output Controller/Monitor.

Issues/questions/notes:
- Some of the command register enum values are currently unused.
  Keep or remove ?
- Critical voltage values are not supported by the current sysfs API,
  though available from the chip. Would it make sense to report those values,
  e.g. as inX_min_crit and inX_max_crit ? 
  Note: This also applies to PMBus chips, so the question will come up again.
- It would be nice to be able to support other variants of this chip,
  but I have no means to test it. Some test coverage by others would be helpful.
