-High Accuracy Temperature Reading
----------------------------------
-
-As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
-somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
-different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
-To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
-both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
-
-Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
-internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
-(the driver manages them):
-
-Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
-Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
-Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
-
-- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
-- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
-- Then, read REG_COUNT.
-- And then, REG_SLOPE.
-
- TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
-
-Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
-good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
-that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
-of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
-tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
-thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
-
-The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
-be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
-temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
-i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
-that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
-to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
-
-Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
-the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
-or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

+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.

+Description
+-----------
+The PCF8591 is an 8-bit A/D and D/A converter (4 analog inputs and one
+analog output) for the I2C bus produced by Philips Semiconductors. It
+is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 4 separate devices.
+
+The PCF8591 has 4 analog inputs programmable as single-ended or
+differential inputs :
+- mode 0 : four single ended inputs
+ Pins AIN0 to AIN3 are single ended inputs for channels 0 to 3
+
+- mode 1 : three differential inputs
+ Pins AIN3 is the common negative differential input
+ Pins AIN0 to AIN2 are positive differential inputs for channels 0 to 2
+
+- mode 2 : single ended and differential mixed
+ Pins AIN0 and AIN1 are single ended inputs for channels 0 and 1
+ Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 3
+ Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 3
+
+- mode 3 : two differential inputs
+ Pins AIN0 is the positive differential input for channel 0
+ Pins AIN1 is the negative differential input for channel 0
+ Pins AIN2 is the positive differential input for channel 1
+ Pins AIN3 is the negative differential input for channel 1

+Accessing PCF8591 via /sys interface
+-------------------------------------
+
+! Be careful !
+The PCF8591 is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
+So every chip with address in the interval [48..4f] is
+detected as PCF8591. If you have other chips in this address
+range, the workaround is to load this module after the one
+for your others chips.
+
+On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
+created for each detected PCF8591:
+
+/sys/bus/devices/<0>-<1>/
+where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
+and <1> the chip address ([48..4f])
+
+Inside these directories, there are such files:
+in0, in1, in2, in3, out0_enable, out0_output, name
+
+Name contains chip name.
+
+The in0, in1, in2 and in3 files are RO. Reading gives the value of the
+corresponding channel. Depending on the current analog inputs configuration,
+files in2 and/or in3 do not exist. Values range are from 0 to 255 for single
+ended inputs and -128 to +127 for differential inputs (8-bit ADC).
+
+The out0_enable file is RW. Reading gives "1" for analog output enabled and
+"0" for analog output disabled. Writing accepts "0" and "1" accordingly.
+
+The out0_output file is RW. Writing a number between 0 and 255 (8-bit DAC), send
+the value to the digital-to-analog converter. Note that a voltage will
+only appears on AOUT pin if aout0_enable equals 1. Reading returns the last
+value written.
