Armin Wolf 9c0beb6b29 platform/x86: wmi: Add MSI WMI Platform driver
Add a new driver for the MSI WMI Platform interface. The underlying
ACPI WMI interface supports many features, but so far only reading
of fan speed sensors is implemented.

The driver was reverse-engineered based on a user request to the
lm-sensors project, see the github issue for details.

The ACPI WMI interface used by this driver seems to use the same
embedded controller interface as the msi-ec driver, but supports
automatic discovery of supported machines without relying on a
DMI whitelist.

The driver was tested by the user who created the github issue.
