[lm-sensors] it8712 rev 7; fan speeds reported incorrectly.

[John Gumb]

Hi

 

I've just picked up linux-2.6.27-rc5 and it would appear fan speeds are
reported incorrectly now. We have it8712  rev7 on our systems. We see
speeds of around 40K RPM (!!).

 

The following hack fixes it - it just punts 16 bit fan support out to
rev8. It would appear our it8172 does not have 16 bit tacho support. Or
if it does, the driver isn't enabling it properly.
