hwmon: (lm85) Add support for ADT7468 high-frequency PWM mode
The ADT7468 supports a high-frequency PWM output mode where all PWM outputs are driven by a 22.5 kHz clock. Add support for this mode, and document it, as it may surprise the user that setting one PWM output frequency also affects the other PWM outputs.

described in the documentation. The current lm85 driver does not show the
offset register.
+The ADT7468 has a high-frequency PWM mode, where all PWM outputs are
+driven by a 22.5 kHz clock. This is a global mode, not per-PWM output,
+which means that setting any PWM frequency above 11.3 kHz will switch
+all 3 PWM outputs to a 22.5 kHz frequency. Conversely, setting any PWM
+frequency below 11.3 kHz will switch all 3 PWM outputs to a frequency
+between 10 and 100 Hz, which can then be tuned separately.

See the vendor datasheets for more information. There is application note
from National (AN-1260) with some additional information about the LM85.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
