[PATCH 2.6] I2C: Allow it87 pwm reconfiguration

Quoting myself:

> As soon as you will have confirmed that everything worked as expected,

> PWM features of your it87 chip again, but in a safe way for a change

Here comes this patch. The new "fix_pwm_polarity" module parameter
allows one to force the it87 chip reconfiguration. This is only
supported in the case the original PWM configuration is suspected to be
bogus, and only if we think that reconfiguring the chip is safe.

I wish to thank Rudolf Marek and Jonas Munsin again for their testing
and review of my code.

Greg, please apply, thanks.

Simone, feel free to test this (on top of 2.6.11-rc1-mm1 for example).
