		Fan Control
		-----------

		Both PWM (pulse-width modulation) and DC fan speed control methods are
		supported. The right one to use depends on external circuitry on the
		motherboard, so the driver assumes that the BIOS set the method
		properly. The driver will report the method, but won't let you change
		it.

		When the PWM method is used, you can select the operating frequency,
		from 187.5 kHz (default) to 31 Hz. The best frequency depends on the
		fan model. As a rule of thumb, lower frequencies seem to give better
		control, but may generate annoying high-pitch noise. Fintek recommends
		not going below 1 kHz, as the fan tachometers get confused by lower
		frequencies as well.

		When the DC method is used, Fintek recommends not going below 5 V, which
		corresponds to a pwm value of 106 for the driver. The driver doesn't
		enforce this limit though.

		Three different fan control modes are supported:

		* Manual mode
		You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle or DC voltage.

		* Fan speed mode
		You ask for a specific fan speed. This mode assumes that pwm1
		corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.

		* Temperature mode
		You define 3 temperature/fan speed trip points, and the fan speed is
		adjusted depending on the measured temperature, using interpolation.
		This mode is not yet supported by the driver.

		Hardware Interfaces
		-------------------

		All the chips suported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
		through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
		SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
		longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
		than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
		motherboard models.

		Thanks to Amir Habibi at Candelis for setting up a test system, and to
		Michael Kress for testing several iterations of this driver.


		Description
		-----------

		The National Semiconductor Super I/O chip includes complete hardware
		monitoring capabilities. It can monitor up to 18 voltages, 8 fans and
		6 temperature sensors. Only the fans are supported at the moment.

		This chip also has fan controlling features, which are not yet supported
		by this driver either.

		The driver assumes that no more than one chip is present, which seems
		reasonable.


		Fan Monitoring
		--------------

		Fan rotation speeds are reported as 14-bit values from a gated clock
		signal. Speeds down to 83 RPM can be measured.

		An alarm is triggered if the rotation speed drops below a programmable
		limit. Another alarm is triggered if the speed is too low to to be measured
		(including stalled or missing fan).
