Add support for the Congatec Board Controller. This controller exposes
temperature, voltage, current and fan sensors.

The available sensors list cannot be predicted. Some sensors can be
present or not, depending the system.
The driver has an internal list of all possible sensors, for all Congatec
boards. The Board Controller gives to the driver its sensors list, and
their status (active or not).

 From Documentation/hwmon/submitting-patches.rst:

* Avoid calculations in macros and macro-generated functions. While such macros
   may save a line or so in the source, it obfuscates the code and makes code
   review more difficult. It may also result in code which is more complicated
   than necessary. Use inline functions or just regular functions instead.

I don't understand why this would be needed anyway. The current channel
index is well known, so adding or subtracting a constant should do it.

My first idea to use this macro was to avoid issue if a new voltage
sensor is added in the future.

But it's useless. If in a new generation of Board Controller a voltage
sensor is added, it will be added at the end of the list.

But it doesn't exist for now, so no need to take care.

I'll just add a constant for curr sensors.

Thomas

Exactly. And if it isn't added to the end of the list, the array with
the sensor names and types would have to change, meaning a new array
would be needed anyway. If that happens, it would be easier to just
add another constant for that second controller variation.
