+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31790 chip.
+
+The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
+PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
+through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
+or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
+pass transistor.
+
+Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
+monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
+Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can
+also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs.
