Maxim's patch to initialise sysfs attributes depends on the patch which
actually adds sysfs_attr_init().

Wong - -This driver is depreacted, please use the adt7475 driver instead. - -Description ------------ - -This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family. - -The ADT7473 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 -ADT7473 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 ADT7473 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 ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if -any measured value exceeds either limit. - -The ADT7473 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 ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures -with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either -for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted -from the raw value to get the temperature value. - -The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for -determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control. - -Configuration Notes -------------------- - -Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following: - -* PWM Control - -* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and -* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp - - -point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound. -point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound. - -The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when -the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range -from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will 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. |
