12 Thanks to Amir Habibi at Candelis for setting up a test system, and to
13 Michael Kress for testing several iterations of this driver.
19 The National Semiconductor Super I/O chip includes complete hardware
20 monitoring capabilities. It can monitor up to 18 voltages, 8 fans and
21 6 temperature sensors. Only the fans are supported at the moment.
23 This chip also has fan controlling features, which are not yet supported
24 by this driver either.
26 The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
33 Fan rotation speeds are reported as 14-bit values from a gated clock
34 signal. Speeds down to 83 RPM can be measured.
36 An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed drops below a programmable
37 limit. Another alarm is triggered if the speed is too low to to be measured
38 (including stalled or missing fan).
