Merge tag 'hwmon-for-v5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging
Pull hwmon updates from Guenter Roeck:
- Add driver for Intersil ISL68137 PWM Controller
- Add driver for Lochnagar 2
- Add driver for Infineon IR38064 Voltage Regulator
- Add support for TMP75B to lm75 driver
- Convert documentation to ReST format
- Use request_muxed_region for Super-IO accesses in several drivers
- Add 'samples' attribute to ABI, and start using it
- Add support for custom sysfs attributes to pmbus drivers (used in
ISL68137 driver)
- Introduce HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO macro
- Automated changes:
- Use permission specific [SENSOR_][DEVICE_]ATTR variants
- Fix build warnings due to unused of_device_id structures
- Use HWMON_CHANNEL_INFO macro
- Various minor improvements and fixes

G760A + + Prefix: 'g760a' + + Datasheet: Publicly available at the GMT website + + http://www.gmt.com.tw/product/datasheet/EDS-760A.pdf + +Author: Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@gnu.org> + +Description +----------- + +The GMT G760A Fan Speed PWM Controller is connected directly to a fan +and performs closed-loop control of the fan speed. + +The fan speed is programmed by setting the period via 'pwm1' of two +consecutive speed pulses. The period is defined in terms of clock +cycle counts of an assumed 32kHz clock source. + +Setting a period of 0 stops the fan; setting the period to 255 sets +fan to maximum speed. + +The measured fan rotation speed returned via 'fan1_input' is derived +from the measured speed pulse period by assuming again a 32kHz clock +source and a 2 pulse-per-revolution fan. + +The 'alarms' file provides access to the two alarm bits provided by +the G760A chip's status register: Bit 0 is set when the actual fan +speed differs more than 20% with respect to the programmed fan speed; +bit 1 is set when fan speed is below 1920 RPM. + +The g760a driver will not update its values more frequently than every +other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return +'old' values. |
