Add support for the watchdog integrated into the SMSC SCH5627 and
SCH5636 superio-s. Since the watchdog is part of the hwmon logical device
and thus shares ioports with it, the watchdog driver is integrated into the
existing hwmon drivers for these.

Note that this version of the watchdog support for sch56xx superio-s
implements the watchdog chardev interface itself, rather then relying on
the recently added watchdog core / watchdog_dev. This is done because
currently some needed functionality is missing from watchdog_dev, as soon
as this functionality is added (which is being discussed on the
linux-watchdog mailinglist), I'll convert this driver over to using
watchdog_dev.

This patch adds a new driver for SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips.
The chips include an embedded microcontroller for hardware monitoring
solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create their own
custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636.

Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636
based hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on
loading to ensure it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with
another custom SCH5636 based hwmon solution.
