  30. Description
  31. -----------
  32. The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
  33. contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
  34. The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware
  35. monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The
  36. hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the
  37. smsc47m192 driver for that.
  38. No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device
  39. ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible.
  40. Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
  41. triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
  42. readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
  43. the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
  44. represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
  45. representable value is around 2600 RPM.
  46. PWM values are from 0 to 255.
  47. If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
  48. is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
  49. already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
  50. hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
  51. than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
  52. miss once-only alarms.
