-This describes the interface for the ADT7475 driver:
-
-(there are 4 fans, numbered fan1 to fan4):
-
-fanX_input              Read the current speed of the fan (in RPMs)
-fanX_min                Read/write the minimum speed of the fan.  Dropping
-                        below this sets an alarm.
-
-(there are three PWMs, numbered pwm1 to pwm3):
-
-pwmX                    Read/write the current duty cycle of the PWM.  Writes
-                        only have effect when auto mode is turned off (see
-                        below).  Range is 0 - 255.
-
-pwmX_enable             Fan speed control method:
-
-                        0 - No control (fan at full speed)
-                        1 - Manual fan speed control (using pwm[1-*])
-                        2 - Automatic fan speed control

-                        58 Hz
-                        88 Hz
-
-pwmX_auto_point1_pwm    Read/write the minimum PWM duty cycle in automatic mode

-                        degrees of Celsius.
-
-tempX_max               Read/write the upper temperature limit - exceeding this
-                        will cause an alarm.
-
-tempX_min               Read/write the lower temperature limit - exceeding this
-                        will cause an alarm.
-
-tempX_offset            Read/write the temperature adjustment offset
-
-tempX_crit              Read/write the THERM limit for remote1.
-
-tempX_crit_hyst         Set the temperature value below crit where the
-                        fans will stay on - this helps drive the temperature
-                        low enough so it doesn't stay near the edge and
-                        cause THERM to keep tripping.
-
-tempX_auto_point1_temp  Read/write the minimum temperature where the fans will
-                        turn on in automatic mode.
-
-tempX_auto_point2_temp  Read/write the maximum temperature over which the fans
-                        will run in automatic mode.  tempX_auto_point1_temp
-                        and tempX_auto_point2_temp together define the
-                        range of automatic control.
-
-tempX_alarm             Read a 1 if the max/min alarm is set
-tempX_fault             Read a 1 if either temp1 or temp3 diode has a fault
-
-(There are two voltage settings, in1 and in2):
-
-inX_input               Read the current voltage on VCC.  Value is in

-inX_min                 read/write the minimum voltage limit.
-                        Dropping below this causes an alarm.
-
-inX_max                 read/write the maximum voltage limit.
-                        Exceeding this causes an alarm.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 and ADT7475
+chip family. Both chips differ only in minor details. They will be
+collectively designed by the name "ADT747x" in the rest of this document.
+
+The ADT747x uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBus 2.0
+specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
+temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
+measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
+to control fan speed.
+
+A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
+ADT747x that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
+three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
+programmable. Once configured, the ADT747x will adjust the PWM outputs in
+response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
+This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
+
+Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
+corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT747x will signal an ALARM if
+any measured value exceeds either limit.
+
+The ADT747x samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
+the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
+configuration data is only read once per minute.
+
+Special Features
+----------------
+
+The ADT747x has a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
+with a resolution of 0.25 degree Celsius. Temperature readings can be
+configured either for two's complement format or "Offset 64" format,
+wherein 64 is subtracted from the raw value to get the temperature value.
+
+The datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for determining
+an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
+
+Fan Speed Control
+-----------------
+
+The driver exposes two trip points per PWM channel.
+
+point1: Set the PWM speed at the lower temperature bound
+point2: Set the PWM speed at the higher temperature bound
+
+The ADT747x will scale the PWM linearly between the lower and higher PWM
+speed when the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.
+Temperature boundaries are associated to temperature channels rather than
+PWM outputs, and a given PWM output can be controlled by several temperature
+channels. As a result, the ADT747x may compute more than one PWM value
+for a channel at a given time, in which case the maximum value (fastest
+fan speed) is applied. PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
+
+Fan speed may be set to maximum when the temperature sensor associated with
+the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The nVidia binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
+Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
+fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
