PWM and tachometers are sensed through the on-board programmable +device, which exports its register map. This device could be attached to +any bus type, for which register mapping is supported. +Single instance is created with one PWM control, up to 12 tachometers and +one cooling device. It could be as many instances as programmable device +supports. +The driver exposes the fan to the user space through the hwmon's and +thermal's sysfs interfaces. + +/sys files in hwmon subsystem +----------------------------- + +fan[1-12]_fault - RO files for tachometers TACH1-TACH12 fault indication +fan[1-12]_input - RO files for tachometers TACH1-TACH12 input (in RPM) +pwm1 - RW file for fan[1-12] target duty cycle (0..255) + +/sys files in thermal subsystem +------------------------------- + +cur_state - RW file for current cooling state of the cooling device + (0..max_state) +max_state - RO file for maximum cooling state of the cooling device |
