Many chips require 64-bit variables to display the accumulated energy, even more so since the energy units are micro-Joule. Add new sensor type "energy64" to support reporting the chip energy as 64-bit values. Changing the entire hardware monitoring API is not feasible, and it is only really necessary to support reading 64-bit values for the "energyX_input" attribute. For this reason, keep the API as-is and use type casts on both ends to pass 64-bit pointers when reading the accumulated energy. On the write side (which is only useful for the energyX_enable attribute), keep passing the written value as long.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
