[lm-sensors] [patch 1/2] hwmon: add a superio_locks coordinator - module

[Jim Cromie]

From:  Jim Cromie <jim.cromie at gmail.com>

this adds superio_locks module to hwmon.
The module makes it simple for a driver using a Super-IO chip
to obtain a shared lock, and thereby coordinate with any other
(cooperative) users of that chip, without knowing who they are.
