These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31790 chip.
+
+The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
+PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
+through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
+or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
+pass transistor.
+
+Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
+monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
+Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can
+also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs.
