Frank, can we see the output of "sensors" on your system with your
patch applied?

The datasheet is not publicly available, unfortunately. The info I have
is that temperature and fan parts are likely to be compatible. Not so
sure about the voltages, although the ADC resolution is the same (12
mV.)

One thing for sure: I want to play it safe and introduce a separate
chip type for the IT8728F. Two advantages: we can tell who has an
IT8728F from user reports easily, and we can add chip tweaks later
easily without breaking user configurations.
