[PATCH v3 0/2] platform/x86: dell-ddv: Various driver updates

[Armin Wolf]

Thanks to bugreport 216655 on bugzilla, the contents of the
fan/thermal sensor buffers could be almost completely decoded.

The first patch adds support for exposing the sensor values
over a standard hwmon interface, and the second patch enables
asynchronous probing for the driver since the sensor interface
can be quiet slow.

The patch series was tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505, with the hwmon
patch being tested by multiple people over bugzilla and email. Those
who tested the final version of the hwmon patch are credited with
Tested-by tags.
