207ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho ChehabFrom the datasheet:
217ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehab
227ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehab"The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
237ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabcontrol capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
247ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho ChehabThis ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
257ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabvoltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
267ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabmeasures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
277ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabmultiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
287ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabthat it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
297ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabfans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
307ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho ChehabQFN package."

327ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho ChehabThe device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
337ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabregister-incompatible.
347ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehab
357ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho ChehabThe driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
367ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabtemperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
377ebd8b66SMauro Carvalho Chehabsupported, and neither is fan speed control.
