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

It uses the +generic PWM interface thus it is hardware independent. It can be used on +many SoCs, as long as the SoC supplies a PWM line driver that exposes +the generic PWM API. + +Author: Kamil Debski <k.debski@samsung.com> + +Description +----------- + +The driver implements a simple interface for driving a fan connected to +a PWM output. It uses the generic PWM interface, thus it can be used with +a range of SoCs. The driver exposes the fan to the user space through +the hwmon's sysfs interface. + +The fan rotation speed returned via the optional 'fan1_input' is extrapolated +from the sampled interrupts from the tachometer signal within 1 second. |
