This driver implements support for the IT8705F, IT8712F, IT8716F,
-IT8718F and SiS950 chips.
+IT8718F, IT8726F and SiS950 chips.
These chips are 'Super I/O chips', supporting floppy disks, infrared ports,
joysticks and other miscellaneous stuff. For hardware monitoring, they
can't have both on a given board.
The IT8716F, IT8718F and later IT8712F revisions have support for
-2 additional fans. They are not yet supported by the driver.
+2 additional fans. They are supported by the driver for the IT8716F and
+IT8718F but not for the IT8712F
The IT8716F and IT8718F, and late IT8712F and IT8705F also have optional
16-bit tachometer counters for fans 1 to 3. This is better (no more fan
revisions. For now, the driver only uses the 16-bit mode on the
IT8716F and IT8718F.
+The IT8726F is just bit enhanced IT8716F with additional hardware
+for AMD power sequencing. Therefore the chip will appear as IT8716F
+to userspace applications.

Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. An alarm is triggered once
when the Overtemperature Shutdown limit is crossed.

+Fan speed control
+-----------------
+
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.
+
+If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
+try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
+it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
+used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
+read-only.
