[PATCH] therm_adt746x: smooth fan

[Jorge Bernal]

Hi all!

This patchs allows a smoother fan speed switching with therm_adt746x. Instead 
of setting 0 or 128, it scales speed according to temperature.

It would be even better if I'd have more precise temp data, but I'm not sure 
if it's even supported by the chip.
