hwmon: (nct6775) Fix virtual temperature sources for NCT6796D
The following kernel log message is reported for the nct6775 driver
on ASUS WS X299 SAGE.
nct6775: Found NCT6796D or compatible chip at 0x2e:0x290
nct6775 nct6775.656: Invalid temperature source 11 at index 0,

A recent version of the datasheet lists temperature source 11 as reserved.
However, an older version of the datasheet lists temperature sources 10
and 11 as supported virtual temperature sources. Apparently the older
version of the datasheet is correct, so list those temperature sources
as supported.
Virtual temperature sources are different than other temperature sources:
Values are not read from a temperature sensor, but written either from
BIOS or an embedded controller. As such, each virtual temperature has to
be reported. Since there is now more than one temperature source, we have
to keep virtual temperature sources in a chip-specific mask and can no
longer rely on the assumption that there is only one virtual temperature
source with a fixed index. This accounts for most of the complexity of this
patch.
