hwmon: (lm90) Support the extra resolution bits of MAX6657
The Maxim MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 have extra resolution bits for the local temperature measurement. Let the lm90 driver read them and export them to user-space. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@gefanuc.com>
