Add temporary adm1278 hwmon pmbus driver patch

This patch temporarily adds adm1278 hwmon driver as a kernel patch to openbmc,
for testing on Barreleye.
If in the future this patch will still be useful, it should be put into linux kernel.

Barreleye has three adm1278 devices on three i2c buses.
This patch enables reading adm1278 sensors via hwmon sysfs interface.
The enabled sensors are: current, voltage (In and Out), power and temperature.
Detail usage can be found in 'readme_adm1278.txt'.

Building

OpenBMC uses Yocto/Open-Embedded for a build system, which supports an out-of-tree build. It is recommended that you create an empty directory somewhere to hold the build. This directory will get big.

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following packages are required to build the default target

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat

On Fedora 23 the following packages are required to build the default target:

sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

To start a build:

cd <builddir>
. <repodir>/openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
