Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation files. Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
|
|
contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
|
|
|
|
The 47M15x and 47M192 chips contain a full 'hardware monitoring block'
|
|
in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The hardware monitoring
|
|
block is not supported by the driver.
|
|
|
|
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
|
|
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
|
|
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
|
|
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
|
|
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
|
|
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
|
|
|
|
PWM values are from 0 to 255.
|
|
|
|
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
|
|
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
|
|
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
|
|
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
|
|
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
|
|
miss once-only alarms.
