 118Description
 119-----------
 120
 121Fintek F718xx/F8000 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
 122capabilities. They can monitor up to 9 voltages, 4 fans and 3 temperature
 123sensors.
 124
 125These chips also have fan controlling features, using either DC or PWM, in
 126three different modes (one manual, two automatic).
 127
 128The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
 129reasonable.
 130
 131
 132Monitoring
 133----------
 134
 135The Voltage, Fan and Temperature Monitoring uses the standard sysfs
 136interface as documented in sysfs-interface, without any exceptions.
 137
 138
 139Fan Control
 140-----------
 141
 142Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
 143supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
 144motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
 145properly.
 146
 147Note that the lowest numbered temperature zone trip point corresponds to
 148the border between the highest and one but highest temperature zones, and
 149vica versa. So the temperature zone trip points 1-4 (or 1-2) go from high temp
 150to low temp! This is how things are implemented in the IC, and the driver
 151mimics this.
 152
 153There are 2 modes to specify the speed of the fan, PWM duty cycle (or DC
 154voltage) mode, where 0-100% duty cycle (0-100% of 12V) is specified. And RPM
 155mode where the actual RPM of the fan (as measured) is controlled and the speed
 156gets specified as 0-100% of the fan#_full_speed file.
 157
 158Since both modes work in a 0-100% (mapped to 0-255) scale, there isn't a
 159whole lot of a difference when modifying fan control settings. The only
 160important difference is that in RPM mode the 0-100% controls the fan speed
 161between 0-100% of fan#_full_speed. It is assumed that if the BIOS programs
 162RPM mode, it will also set fan#_full_speed properly, if it does not then
 163fan control will not work properly, unless you set a sane fan#_full_speed
 164value yourself.
 165
 166Switching between these modes requires re-initializing a whole bunch of
 167registers, so the mode which the BIOS has set is kept. The mode is
 168printed when loading the driver.
 169
 170Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
 171to the pwm#_enable file. Note that not all modes are supported on all
 172chips, and some modes may only be available in RPM / PWM mode.
 173Writing an unsupported mode will result in an invalid parameter error.
 174
 175* 1: Manual mode
 176  You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle / DC voltage or a specific % of
 177  fan#_full_speed by writing to the pwm# file. This mode is only
 178  available on the F71858FG / F8000 if the fan channel is in RPM mode.
 179
 180* 2: Normal auto mode
 181  You can define a number of temperature/fan speed trip points, which % the
 182  fan should run at at this temp and which temp a fan should follow using the
 183  standard sysfs interface. The number and type of trip points is chip
 184  depended, see which files are available in sysfs.
 185  Fan/PWM channel 3 of the F8000 is always in this mode!
 186
 187* 3: Thermostat mode (Only available on the F8000 when in duty cycle mode)
 188  The fan speed is regulated to keep the temp the fan is mapped to between
 189  temp#_auto_point2_temp and temp#_auto_point3_temp.
 190
 191All of the automatic modes require that pwm1 corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to
 192fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.
