+Kernel driver gsc-hwmon
+=======================
+
+Supported chips: Gateworks GSC
+Datasheet: http://trac.gateworks.com/wiki/gsc
+Author: Tim Harvey <tharvey@gateworks.com>
+
+Description:
+------------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for the temperature sensor,
+various ADC's connected to the GSC, and optional FAN controller available
+on some boards.
+
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+The voltage inputs are scaled either internally or by the driver depending
+on the GSC version and firmware. The values returned by the driver do not need
+further scaling. The voltage input labels provide the voltage rail name:
+
+inX_input Measured voltage (mV).
+inX_label Name of voltage rail.
+
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are measured with 12-bit or 10-bit resolution and are scaled
+either internally or by the driver depending on the GSC version and firmware.
+The values returned by the driver reflect millidegree Celsius:
+
+tempX_input Measured temperature.
+tempX_label Name of temperature input.
+
+
+PWM Output Control
+------------------
+
+The GSC features 1 PWM output that operates in automatic mode where the
+PWM value will be scaled depending on 6 temperature boundaries.
+The tempeature boundaries are read-write and in millidegree Celsius and the
+read-only PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
+Fan speed will be set to minimum (off) when the temperature sensor reads
+less than pwm1_auto_point1_temp and maximum when the temperature sensor
+equals or exceeds pwm1_auto_point6_temp.
+
+pwm1_auto_point[1-6]_pwm PWM value.
+pwm1_auto_point[1-6]_temp Temperature boundary.
