hwmon: (emc1403) Add driver documentation

With the driver now supporting several chip variants,
it is about time to document what is supported.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) / Microchip EMC14xx chips
+contain up to four temperature sensors. EMC14x2 support two sensors
+(one internal, one external). EMC14x3 support three sensors (one internal,
+two external), and EMC14x4 support four sensors (one internal, three
+external).
+
+The chips implement three limits for each sensor: low (tempX_min), high
+(tempX_max) and critical (tempX_crit.) The chips also implement an
+hysteresis mechanism which applies to all limits. The relative difference
+is stored in a single register on the chip, which means that the relative
+difference between the limit and its hysteresis is always the same for
+all three limits.
+
+This implementation detail implies the following:
+* When setting a limit, its hysteresis will automatically follow, the
+  difference staying unchanged. For example, if the old critical limit
+  was 80 degrees C, and the hysteresis was 75 degrees C, and you change
+  the critical limit to 90 degrees C, then the hysteresis will
+  automatically change to 85 degrees C.
+* While hysteresis limits can be set for all critical limits, setting a single
+  hysteresis value affects the hysteresis values for all limits on all sensors.
+* The limits should be set before the hysteresis.
