hwmon: (amc6821) Make reading and writing fan speed limits consistent
The default value of the maximum fan speed limit register is 0, essentially translating to an unlimited fan speed. When reading the limit, a value of 0 is reported in this case. However, writing a value of 0 results in writing a value of 0xffff into the register, which is inconsistent. To solve the problem, permit writing a limit of 0 for the maximim fan speed, effectively translating to "no limit". Write 0 into the register if a limit value of 0 is written. Otherwise limit the range to <1..6000000> and write 1..0xffff into the register. This ensures that reading and writing from and to a limit register return the same value while at the same time not changing reported values when reading the speed or limits. While at it, restrict fan limit writes to non-negative numbers; writing a negative limit does not make sense and should be reported instead of being corrected.
