hwmon/it87: Add PWM base frequency control
Let the user select the base PWM frequency when using the it87 hardware monitoring driver. Different frequencies can give better control on some fans. Also update the documentation to mention the PWM frequency control files, with misc cleanups to the PWM section. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
