hwmon: (w83781d) Additional information about AS99127F PWM

Browse source 
This information was provided in lm-sensors ticket #2350:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2350

This is IMHO still not enough to be able to safely implement fan
control support for the AS99127F, but this is valuable information so
I am adding it to the documentation.

long as we don't know more, the w83781d driver doesn't handle PWM on

My mobo is an ASUS A7V266-E. This behavior is similar to what I got
with speedfan under Windows, where 0-15% would be off, 15-2x% (can't
remember the exact value) would be 70% and higher would be full on.

ticket #2350:
I conducted some experiment on Asus P3B-F motherboard with AS99127F
(Ver. 1).
I confirm that 0x59 register control the CPU_Fan Header on this
motherboard, and 0x5a register control PWR_Fan.
In order to reduce the dependency of specific fan, the measurement is
conducted with a digital scope without fan connected. I found out that
P3B-F actually output variable DC voltage on fan header center pin,
looks like PWM is filtered on this motherboard.
Here are some of measurements:
0x80 20 mV
0x81 20 mV
0x82 232 mV
0x83 1.2 V
0x84 2.31 V
0x85 3.44 V
0x86 4.62 V
0x87 5.81 V
0x88 7.01 V
9x89 8.22 V
0x8a 9.42 V
0x8b 10.6 V
0x8c 11.9 V
0x8d 12.4 V
0x8e 12.4 V
0x8f 12.4 V
