hwmon: (adt7475) New documentation
New documentation for the adt7475 driver, based on the adt7473 driver documentation. It is IMHO much more useful that the previous documentation which was essentially redundant with sysfs-interface.

23 1 - TEMP1 controls PWM 23This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 and ADT7475

25 4 - TEMP3 controls PWM 25collectively designed by the name "ADT747x" in the rest of this document.
26 6 - TEMP2 and TEMP3 control PWM 26
27 7 - All three inputs control PWM 27The ADT747x uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBus 2.0
28 28specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)

31 31to control fan speed.
32 11 Hz 32
33 14 Hz 33A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
34 22 Hz 34ADT747x that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
35 29 Hz 35three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
36 35 Hz 36programmable. Once configured, the ADT747x will adjust the PWM outputs in
37 44 Hz 37response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
38 58 Hz 38This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
39 88 Hz 39
40 40Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
41pwmX_auto_point1_pwm Read/write the minimum PWM duty cycle in automatic mode 41corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT747x will signal an ALARM if
42 42any measured value exceeds either limit.
43pwmX_auto_point2_pwm Read/write the maximum PWM duty cycle in automatic mode 43
44 44The ADT747x samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
45(there are three temperature settings numbered temp1 to temp3): 45the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
46 46configuration data is only read once per minute.
47tempX_input Read the current temperature. The value is in milli 47
48 degrees of Celsius. 48Special Features
49 49----------------
50tempX_max Read/write the upper temperature limit - exceeding this 50
51 will cause an alarm. 51The ADT747x has a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
52 52with a resolution of 0.25 degree Celsius. Temperature readings can be
53tempX_min Read/write the lower temperature limit - exceeding this 53configured either for two's complement format or "Offset 64" format,
54 will cause an alarm. 54wherein 64 is subtracted from the raw value to get the temperature value.
55 55
56tempX_offset Read/write the temperature adjustment offset 56The datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for determining
57 57an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
58tempX_crit Read/write the THERM limit for remote1. 58
59 59Fan Speed Control
60tempX_crit_hyst Set the temperature value below crit where the 60-----------------
61 fans will stay on - this helps drive the temperature 61

64 64point1: Set the PWM speed at the lower temperature bound
65tempX_auto_point1_temp Read/write the minimum temperature where the fans will 65point2: Set the PWM speed at the higher temperature bound

67 67The ADT747x will scale the PWM linearly between the lower and higher PWM
68tempX_auto_point2_temp Read/write the maximum temperature over which the fans 68speed when the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.
69 will run in automatic mode. tempX_auto_point1_temp 69Temperature boundaries are associated to temperature channels rather than
70 and tempX_auto_point2_temp together define the 70PWM outputs, and a given PWM output can be controlled by several temperature
71 range of automatic control. 71channels. As a result, the ADT747x may compute more than one PWM value
72 72for a channel at a given time, in which case the maximum value (fastest
73tempX_alarm Read a 1 if the max/min alarm is set 73fan speed) is applied. PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
74tempX_fault Read a 1 if either temp1 or temp3 diode has a fault 74
75 75Fan speed may be set to maximum when the temperature sensor associated with

81inX_min read/write the minimum voltage limit. 81The nVidia binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
82 Dropping below this causes an alarm. 82Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
83 83fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
84inX_max read/write the maximum voltage limit.
85 Exceeding this causes an alarm.

87inX_alarm Read a 1 if the max/min alarm is set.
