Message-ID <[email protected]>
The Analog Devices ADT7470 is a multichannel temperature sensor and
PWM fan controller. It supports monitoring up to 10 external
temperature sensors and controlling up to 4 fans.

Add the device tree binding documentation for it. This includes
support for the thermal framework by defining the "#thermal-sensor-cells"
property, and models the fan control lines as PWM channels by
defining the "#pwm-cells" property.
