hwmon: (nct6775) Fix virtual temperature sources for NCT6796D
The following kernel log message is reported for the nct6775 driver on ASUS WS X299 SAGE. nct6775: Found NCT6796D or compatible chip at 0x2e:0x290 nct6775 nct6775.656: Invalid temperature source 11 at index 0, source register 0x100, temp register 0x73 nct6775 nct6775.656: Invalid temperature source 11 at index 2, source register 0x300, temp register 0x77 nct6775 nct6775.656: Invalid temperature source 11 at index 3, source register 0x800, temp register 0x79 nct6775 nct6775.656: Invalid temperature source 11 at index 4, source register 0x900, temp register 0x7b A recent version of the datasheet lists temperature source 11 as reserved. However, an older version of the datasheet lists temperature sources 10 and 11 as supported virtual temperature sources. Apparently the older version of the datasheet is correct, so list those temperature sources as supported. Virtual temperature sources are different than other temperature sources: Values are not read from a temperature sensor, but written either from BIOS or an embedded controller. As such, each virtual temperature has to be reported. Since there is now more than one temperature source, we have to keep virtual temperature sources in a chip-specific mask and can no longer rely on the assumption that there is only one virtual temperature source with a fixed index. This accounts for most of the complexity of this patch.
