Looks good.  Please split into 3 patches:

1. add the new dpm asic callbacks
2. add the common hwmon fan code.  Make sure it's only enabled on asics which
support manual fan control
3. wire up the CI specific code

As far as percent vs. rpm, I'm not sure which would be preferred.  I think the
hwmon subsystem generally prefers rpm.  Maybe add callbacks for both percent
and rpm and then check rdev->pm.fan_pulses_per_revolution.  If it's 0, expose
it as a percent.  if not, expose as rpm.  Thoughts?  Might be worth asking on
the hwmon mailing lists.

Also, we should only expose these on asics which support fan control.
