[ 14/69] hwmon: (fam15h_power) Increase output resolution

From: Ben Hutchings

3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@xxxxxxx>

On high CPU load the accumulating values in the running_avg_cap
register are very low (below 10), so averaging them too early leads
to unnecessary poor output resolution. Since we pretend to output
micro-Watt we better keep all the bits we have as long as possible.
