[lm-sensors] ITE IT8518E supported in coreboot, helpful?

[Santi Villalba <sdvillal@gmail.com>]

This controller is giving people some trouble, as it is shipped in more 
and more laptops [1] and the fans can become quite annoying in these 
systems.

In the past it was said that the main problem was the lack of a 
datasheet from ITE [2]. Recently there has been progress from the 
coreboot projects getting the info for quanta firmware on IT8518 [3]. 
Can this particular file help with the lack of specs or it depends on 
other factors?

In my particular case, I have a noisy clevo p150em. I can help providing 
testing and perhaps developing - just looking at the code of other 
modules, it87, it seems to me I could give a hand beyond testing.

Thanks
