Linux 5.11 Hardware Monitoring Brings New Additions From AMD Zen 3 To Corsair PSUs

There are several prominent additions to the hardware monitoring subsystem for Linux 5.11 including:
- The AMD SB-TSI sensor driver has been mainlined as a sideband temperature sensor interface for AMD EPYC server platforms. AMD SB-TSI should ultimately prove useful for cases like OpenBMC deployments.
- AMD Zen 3 support for the AMD_Energy driver. Sadly the current "amd_energy" Linux driver is just geared for AMD EPYC CPUs to report real-time energy information, thus the addition is in reference to the forthcoming AMD EPYC 7003 "Milan" series.
- A new sensor driver for high-end Corsair power supplies exposing various sensor data via USB. This is a fun new driver for those that happen to have such a supported Corsair PSU while the support is coming via the community rather than Corsair themselves.
- The Apple SMC driver finally supports Intel-based Xserve servers.
- A new driver for Delta Q54SJ108A2 power supplies.
- POWER10 support in the FSI/OCC code.
