+Module Parameters
+-----------------
+
+* force_start: bool Enables the monitoring of voltage, fan and temp inputs
+ and PWM output control functions. Using this parameter
+ shouldn't be required since the BIOS usually takes care
+ of this.
+
+Note that there is no need to use this parameter if the driver loads without
+complaining. The driver will say so if it is necessary.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
+SMSC DME1737 and Asus A8000 (which are the same) Super-I/O chips. This chip
+features monitoring of 3 temp sensors temp[1-3] (2 remote diodes and 1
+internal), 7 voltages in[0-6] (6 external and 1 internal) and 6 fan speeds
+fan[1-6]. Additionally, the chip implements 5 PWM outputs pwm[1-3,5-6] for
+controlling fan speeds both manually and automatically.
+
+Fan[3-6] and pwm[3,5-6] are optional features and their availability is
+dependent on the configuration of the chip. The driver will detect which
+features are present during initialization and create the sysfs attributes
+accordingly.
+
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+The voltage inputs are sampled with 12-bit resolution and have internal
+scaling resistors. The values returned by the driver therefore reflect true
+millivolts and don't need scaling. The voltage inputs are mapped as follows
+(the last column indicates the input ranges):
+
+ in0: +5VTR (+5V standby) 0V - 6.64V
+ in1: Vccp (processor core) 0V - 3V
+ in2: VCC (internal +3.3V) 0V - 4.38V
+ in3: +5V 0V - 6.64V
+ in4: +12V 0V - 16V
+ in5: VTR (+3.3V standby) 0V - 4.38V
+ in6: Vbat (+3.0V) 0V - 4.38V
+
+Each voltage input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
+when crossed.
+
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are measured with 12-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
+Celsius. The chip also features offsets for all 3 temperature inputs which -
+when programmed - get added to the input readings. The chip does all the
+scaling by itself and the driver therefore reports true temperatures that don't
+need any user-space adjustments. The temperature inputs are mapped as follows
+(the last column indicates the input ranges):
+
+ temp1: Remote diode 1 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C
+ temp2: DME1737 internal temperature -127C - +127C
+ temp3: Remote diode 2 (3904 type) temperature -127C - +127C
+
+Each temperature input has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm
+when crossed. Additionally, each temperature input has a fault attribute that
+returns 1 when a faulty diode or an unconnected input is detected and 0
+otherwise.
+
+
+Fan Monitoring
+--------------
+
+Fan RPMs are measured with 16-bit resolution. The chip provides inputs for 6
+fan tachometers. All 6 inputs have an associated min limit which triggers an
+alarm when crossed. Fan inputs 1-4 provide type attributes that need to be set
+to the number of pulses per fan revolution that the connected tachometer
+generates. Supported values are 1, 2, and 4. Fan inputs 5-6 only support fans
+that generate 2 pulses per revolution. Fan inputs 5-6 also provide a max
+attribute that needs to be set to the maximum attainable RPM (fan at 100% duty-
+cycle) of the input. The chip adjusts the sampling rate based on this value.
+
+
+PWM Output Control
+------------------
+
+This chip features 5 PWM outputs. PWM outputs 1-3 are associated with fan
+inputs 1-3 and PWM outputs 5-6 are associated with fan inputs 5-6. PWM outputs
+1-3 can be configured to operate either in manual or automatic mode by setting
+the appropriate enable attribute accordingly. PWM outputs 5-6 can only operate
+in manual mode, their enable attributes are therefore read-only. When set to
+manual mode, the fan speed is set by writing the duty-cycle value to the
+appropriate PWM attribute. In automatic mode, the PWM attribute returns the
+current duty-cycle as set by the fan controller in the chip. All PWM outputs
+support the setting of the output frequency via the freq attribute.
+
+In automatic mode, the chip supports the setting of the PWM ramp rate which
+defines how fast the PWM output is adjusting to changes of the associated
+temperature input. Associating PWM outputs to temperature inputs is done via
+temperature zones. The chip features 3 zones whose assignments to temperature
+inputs is static and determined during initialization. These assignments can
+be retrieved via the zone[1-3]_auto_channels_temp attributes. Each PWM output
+is assigned to one (or hottest of multiple) temperature zone(s) through the
+pwm[1-3]_auto_channels_zone attributes. Each PWM output has 3 distinct output
+duty-cycles: full, low, and min. Full is internally hard-wired to 255 (100%)
+and low and min can be programmed via pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm and
+pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min, respectively. The thermal thresholds of the zones are
+programmed via zone[1-3]_auto_point[1-3]_temp and
+zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst:
+
+ pwm[1-3]_auto_point2_pwm full-speed duty-cycle (255, i.e., 100%)
+ pwm[1-3]_auto_point1_pwm low-speed duty-cycle
+ pwm[1-3]_auto_pwm_min min-speed duty-cycle
+
+ zone[1-3]_auto_point3_temp full-speed temp (all outputs)
+ zone[1-3]_auto_point2_temp full-speed temp
+ zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp low-speed temp
+ zone[1-3]_auto_point1_temp_hyst min-speed temp
+
+The chip adjusts the output duty-cycle linearly in the range of auto_point1_pwm
+to auto_point2_pwm if the temperature of the associated zone is between
+auto_point1_temp and auto_point2_temp. If the temperature drops below the
+auto_point1_temp_hyst value, the output duty-cycle is set to the auto_pwm_min
+value which only supports two values: 0 or auto_point1_pwm. That means that the
+fan either turns completely off or keeps spinning with the low-speed
+duty-cycle. If any of the temperatures rise above the auto_point3_temp value,
+all PWM outputs are set to 100% duty-cycle.
+
+Following is another representation of how the chip sets the output duty-cycle
+based on the temperature of the associated thermal zone:
+
+ Duty-Cycle Duty-Cycle
+ Temperature Rising Temp Falling Temp
+ ----------- ----------- ------------
+ full-speed full-speed full-speed
+
+ < linearly adjusted duty-cycle >
+
+ low-speed low-speed low-speed
+ min-speed low-speed
+ min-speed min-speed min-speed
+ min-speed min-speed

+Hardware Description
+--------------------
+
+(from the datasheet)
+
+The LM93, hardware monitor, has a two wire digital interface compatible with
+SMBus 2.0. Using an 8-bit ADC, the LM93 measures the temperature of two remote
+diode connected transistors as well as its own die and 16 power supply
+voltages. To set fan speed, the LM93 has two PWM outputs that are each
+controlled by up to four temperature zones. The fancontrol algorithm is lookup
+table based. The LM93 includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
+temperature readings for better control of fan speed. The LM93 has four
+tachometer inputs to measure fan speed. Limit and status registers for all
+measured values are included. The LM93 builds upon the functionality of
+previous motherboard management ASICs and uses some of the LM85 s features
+(i.e. smart tachometer mode). It also adds measurement and control support
+for dynamic Vccp monitoring and PROCHOT. It is designed to monitor a dual
+processor Xeon class motherboard with a minimum of external components.
+
+
+Driver Description
+------------------
+
+This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM93.
+
+
+User Interface
+--------------
+
+#PROCHOT:
+
+The LM93 can monitor two #PROCHOT signals. The results are found in the
+sysfs files prochot1, prochot2, prochot1_avg, prochot2_avg, prochot1_max,
+and prochot2_max. prochot1_max and prochot2_max contain the user limits
+for #PROCHOT1 and #PROCHOT2, respectively. prochot1 and prochot2 contain
+the current readings for the most recent complete time interval. The
+value of prochot1_avg and prochot2_avg is something like a 2 period
+exponential moving average (but not quite - check the datasheet). Note
+that this third value is calculated by the chip itself. All values range
+from 0-255 where 0 indicates no throttling, and 255 indicates > 99.6%.
+
+The monitoring intervals for the two #PROCHOT signals is also configurable.
+These intervals can be found in the sysfs files prochot1_interval and
+prochot2_interval. The values in these files specify the intervals for
+#P1_PROCHOT and #P2_PROCHOT, respectively. Selecting a value not in this
+list will cause the driver to use the next largest interval. The available
+intervals are:
+
+#PROCHOT intervals: 0.73, 1.46, 2.9, 5.8, 11.7, 23.3, 46.6, 93.2, 186, 372
+
+It is possible to configure the LM93 to logically short the two #PROCHOT
+signals. I.e. when #P1_PROCHOT is asserted, the LM93 will automatically
+assert #P2_PROCHOT, and vice-versa. This mode is enabled by writing a
+non-zero integer to the sysfs file prochot_short.
+
+The LM93 can also override the #PROCHOT pins by driving a PWM signal onto
+one or both of them. When overridden, the signal has a period of 3.56 mS,
+a minimum pulse width of 5 clocks (at 22.5kHz => 6.25% duty cycle), and
+a maximum pulse width of 80 clocks (at 22.5kHz => 99.88% duty cycle).
+
+The sysfs files prochot1_override and prochot2_override contain boolean
+intgers which enable or disable the override function for #P1_PROCHOT and
+#P2_PROCHOT, respectively. The sysfs file prochot_override_duty_cycle
+contains a value controlling the duty cycle for the PWM signal used when
+the override function is enabled. This value ranges from 0 to 15, with 0
+indicating minimum duty cycle and 15 indicating maximum.
+
+#VRD_HOT:
+
+The LM93 can monitor two #VRD_HOT signals. The results are found in the
+sysfs files vrdhot1 and vrdhot2. There is one value per file: a boolean for
+which 1 indicates #VRD_HOT is asserted and 0 indicates it is negated. These
+files are read-only.
+
+Smart Tach Mode:
+
+(from the datasheet)
+
+ If a fan is driven using a low-side drive PWM, the tachometer
+ output of the fan is corrupted. The LM93 includes smart tachometer
+ circuitry that allows an accurate tachometer reading to be
+ achieved despite the signal corruption. In smart tach mode all
+ four signals are measured within 4 seconds.
+
+Smart tach mode is enabled by the driver by writing 1 or 2 (associating the
+the fan tachometer with a pwm) to the sysfs file fan<n>_smart_tach. A zero
+will disable the function for that fan. Note that Smart tach mode cannot be
+enabled if the PWM output frequency is 22500 Hz (see below).
+
+Manual PWM:
+
+The LM93 has a fixed or override mode for the two PWM outputs (although, there
+are still some conditions that will override even this mode - see section
+15.10.6 of the datasheet for details.) The sysfs files pwm1_override
+and pwm2_override are used to enable this mode; each is a boolean integer
+where 0 disables and 1 enables the manual control mode. The sysfs files pwm1
+and pwm2 are used to set the manual duty cycle; each is an integer (0-255)
+where 0 is 0% duty cycle, and 255 is 100%. Note that the duty cycle values
+are constrained by the hardware. Selecting a value which is not available
+will cause the driver to use the next largest value. Also note: when manual
+PWM mode is disabled, the value of pwm1 and pwm2 indicates the current duty
+cycle chosen by the h/w.
+
+PWM Output Frequency:
+
+The LM93 supports several different frequencies for the PWM output channels.
+The sysfs files pwm1_freq and pwm2_freq are used to select the frequency. The
+frequency values are constrained by the hardware. Selecting a value which is
+not available will cause the driver to use the next largest value. Also note
+that this parameter has implications for the Smart Tach Mode (see above).
+
+PWM Output Frequencies: 12, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 22500 (h/w default)
+
+Automatic PWM:
+
+The LM93 is capable of complex automatic fan control, with many different
+points of configuration. To start, each PWM output can be bound to any
+combination of eight control sources. The final PWM is the largest of all
+individual control sources to which the PWM output is bound.
+
+The eight control sources are: temp1-temp4 (aka "zones" in the datasheet),
+#PROCHOT 1 & 2, and #VRDHOT 1 & 2. The bindings are expressed as a bitmask
+in the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_channels, where a "1" enables the binding, and
+ a "0" disables it. The h/w default is 0x0f (all temperatures bound).
+
+ 0x01 - Temp 1
+ 0x02 - Temp 2
+ 0x04 - Temp 3
+ 0x08 - Temp 4
+ 0x10 - #PROCHOT 1
+ 0x20 - #PROCHOT 2
+ 0x40 - #VRDHOT 1
+ 0x80 - #VRDHOT 2
+
+The function y = f(x) takes a source temperature x to a PWM output y. This
+function of the LM93 is derived from a base temperature and a table of 12
+temperature offsets. The base temperature is expressed in degrees C in the
+sysfs files temp<n>_auto_base. The offsets are expressed in cumulative
+degrees C, with the value of offset <i> for temperature value <n> being
+contained in the file temp<n>_auto_offset<i>. E.g. if the base temperature
+is 40C:
+
+ offset # temp<n>_auto_offset<i> range pwm
+ 1 0 - 25.00%
+ 2 0 - 28.57%
+ 3 1 40C - 41C 32.14%
+ 4 1 41C - 42C 35.71%
+ 5 2 42C - 44C 39.29%
+ 6 2 44C - 46C 42.86%
+ 7 2 48C - 50C 46.43%
+ 8 2 50C - 52C 50.00%
+ 9 2 52C - 54C 53.57%
+ 10 2 54C - 56C 57.14%
+ 11 2 56C - 58C 71.43%
+ 12 2 58C - 60C 85.71%
+ > 60C 100.00%
+
+Valid offsets are in the range 0C <= x <= 7.5C in 0.5C increments.
+
+There is an independent base temperature for each temperature channel. Note,
+however, there are only two tables of offsets: one each for temp[12] and
+temp[34]. Therefore, any change to e.g. temp1_auto_offset<i> will also
+affect temp2_auto_offset<i>.
+
+The LM93 can also apply hysteresis to the offset table, to prevent unwanted
+oscillation between two steps in the offsets table. These values are found in
+the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_offset_hyst. The value in this file has the
+same representation as in temp<n>_auto_offset<i>.
+
+If a temperature reading falls below the base value for that channel, the LM93
+will use the minimum PWM value. These values are found in the sysfs files
+temp<n>_auto_pwm_min. Note, there are only two minimums: one each for temp[12]
+and temp[34]. Therefore, any change to e.g. temp1_auto_pwm_min will also
+affect temp2_auto_pwm_min.
+
+PWM Spin-Up Cycle:
+
+A spin-up cycle occurs when a PWM output is commanded from 0% duty cycle to
+some value > 0%. The LM93 supports a minimum duty cycle during spin-up. These
+values are found in the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_spinup_min. The value in this
+file has the same representation as other PWM duty cycle values. The
+duration of the spin-up cycle is also configurable. These values are found in
+the sysfs files pwm<n>_auto_spinup_time. The value in this file is
+the spin-up time in seconds. The available spin-up times are constrained by
+the hardware. Selecting a value which is not available will cause the driver
+to use the next largest value.
+
+Spin-up Durations: 0 (disabled, h/w default), 0.1, 0.25, 0.4, 0.7, 1.0,
+ 2.0, 4.0
+
+#PROCHOT and #VRDHOT PWM Ramping:
+
+If the #PROCHOT or #VRDHOT signals are asserted while bound to a PWM output
+channel, the LM93 will ramp the PWM output up to 100% duty cycle in discrete
+steps. The duration of each step is configurable. There are two files, with
+one value each in seconds: pwm_auto_prochot_ramp and pwm_auto_vrdhot_ramp.
+The available ramp times are constrained by the hardware. Selecting a value
+which is not available will cause the driver to use the next largest value.
+
+Ramp Times: 0 (disabled, h/w default) to 0.75 in 0.05 second intervals
+
+Fan Boost:
+
+For each temperature channel, there is a boost temperature: if the channel
+exceeds this limit, the LM93 will immediately drive both PWM outputs to 100%.
+This limit is expressed in degrees C in the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_boost.
+There is also a hysteresis temperature for this function: after the boost
+limit is reached, the temperature channel must drop below this value before
+the boost function is disabled. This temperature is also expressed in degrees
+C in the sysfs files temp<n>_auto_boost_hyst.
+
+GPIO Pins:
+
+The LM93 can monitor the logic level of four dedicated GPIO pins as well as the
+four tach input pins. GPIO0-GPIO3 correspond to (fan) tach 1-4, respectively.
+All eight GPIOs are read by reading the bitmask in the sysfs file gpio. The
+LSB is GPIO0, and the MSB is GPIO7.
