The CTF2301 shares the overall register layout with LM63, but it is
not fully compatible. In particular, it uses different conversion-rate
encodings, extended local-temperature registers, additional fan lookup
table entries, and device-specific PWM and ALERT/TACH configuration. An
older driver matching the "national,lm63" fallback would therefore not
operate the device correctly.

I will explain why a fallback compatible is not suitable in the commit
message in the next version.
