Guenter Roeck 897f633989 hwmon: (max31790) Report correct current pwm duty cycles
The MAX31790 has two sets of registers for pwm duty cycles, one to request
a duty cycle and one to read the actual current duty cycle. Both do not
have to be the same.

When reporting the pwm duty cycle to the user, the actual pwm duty cycle
from pwm duty cycle registers needs to be reported. When setting it, the
pwm target duty cycle needs to be written. Since we don't know the actual
pwm duty cycle after a target pwm duty cycle has been written, set the
valid flag to false to indicate that actual pwm duty cycle should be read
from the chip instead of using cached values.

Kernel driver max31790
======================
Supported chips:
* Maxim MAX31790
Prefix: 'max31790'

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31790 chip.
The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
pass transistor.
Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can
also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs.
