    hwmon: (applesmc) Add support for Mac Pro 2 x Quad-Core · 8de57709

    At least the 2x Quad-Core Apple Mac Pro appears to have some over-heat
    protection which suddenly powers off the whole box under load.  This adds
    support for the fans and temerature sensors in the Mac Pro - later some
    "windwarm" a-like code should probably monitor the values.  For now
    manually tweaking the fans prevents the sudden shutdown for me.
    
    cd /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768
    for x in fan{1,2,3,4}; do
    	echo 1 > ${x}_manual
    	echo 1285 > ${x}_output
    done
    
    Two sensors are 0, while four are 129 °C, those might be removed again,
    later.
