docs: hwmon: Add an index file and rename docs to *.rst
Now that all files were converted to ReST format, rename them
and add an index.

Testing has shown that if the delay between chip select and -the first clock pulse is reduced from 100 ms to just under 10ms then the chip -will not produce any output. If the duration of either phase of the clock -is reduced from 100 us to less than 15 us then data pulses are likely to be -read twice corrupting the output. The above analysis is based upon a sample -of one unit but suggests that the Zyxel provided delay values include a -reasonable tolerance. - -The driver incorporates a limit that it will not check for updated values -faster than once a second. This is because the hardware takes a relatively long -time to read the data from the device and when it does it reads both temp and -fan speed. As the most likely case for two accesses in quick succession is -to read both of these values avoiding a second read delay is desirable. |
