-Description
------------
-
-The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
-contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
-
-The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware
-monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The
-hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the
-smsc47m192 driver for that.
-
-No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device
-ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible.
-
-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.
