[PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)
Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.
Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

23 | Description | ||
24 | ----------- | ||
25 | |||
26 | The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips | ||
27 | contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The 47M15x and 47M192 chips contain a full 'hardware monitoring block' | ||
30 | in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The hardware monitoring | ||
31 | block is not supported by the driver. | ||
32 | |||
33 | Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is | ||
34 | triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan | ||
35 | readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give | ||
36 | the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be | ||
37 | represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest | ||
38 | representable value is around 2600 RPM. | ||
39 | |||
40 | PWM values are from 0 to 255. | ||
41 | |||
42 | If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register | ||
43 | is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may | ||
44 | already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all | ||
45 | hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less | ||
46 | than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily | ||
47 | miss once-only alarms. | ||
