+There is a third case where trip points are associated to both PWM output
+channels and temperature channels: the PWM values are associated to PWM
+output channels while the temperature values are associated to temperature
+channels. In that case, the result is determined by the mapping between
+temperature inputs and PWM outputs. When several temperature inputs are
+mapped to a given PWM output, this leads to several candidate PWM values.
+The actual result is up to the chip, but in general the highest candidate
+value (fastest fan speed) wins.
