hwmon: (sch5627) Document behaviour of limit registers

The values of the limit registers affect the fan speed in a
particular way. Document this behaviour so that future users
can exploit it if required.

··· 33 33 through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the 34 34 protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon 35 35 request. Please mail me if you want a copy. 36 + 37 + 38 + Controlling fan speed 39 + --------------------- 40 + 41 + The SCH5627 allows for partially controlling the fan speed. If a temperature 42 + channel excedes tempX_max, all fans are forced to maximum speed. The same is not 43 + true for tempX_crit, presumably some other measures to cool down the system are 44 + take in this case. 45 + In which way the value of fanX_min affects the fan speed is currently unknown.
