22Description
23-----------
24
25This driver implements support for Maxim MAX6620 fan controller.
26
27The driver configures the fan controller in RPM mode. To give the readings more
28range or accuracy, the desired value can be set by a programmable register
29(1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32). Set higher values for larger speeds.
30
31The driver provides the following sensor access in sysfs:
32
33================ ======= =====================================================
34fan[1-4]_alarm ro Fan alarm.
35fan[1-4]_div rw Sets the nominal RPM range of the fan. Valid values
36 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
37fan[1-4]_input ro Fan speed in RPM.
38fan[1-4]_target rw Desired fan speed in RPM.
