37* adm1022_temp3: short array
38    List of adapter,address pairs to force chips into ADM1022 mode with
39    second remote temperature. This does not work for original THMC50 chips.

41Description
42-----------
43
44The THMC50 implements: an internal temperature sensor, support for an
45external diode-type temperature sensor (compatible w/ the diode sensor inside
46many processors), and a controllable fan/analog_out DAC. For the temperature
47sensors, limits can be set through the appropriate Overtemperature Shutdown
48register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be set and read to half-degree
49accuracy.  An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the
50temperature gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on
51until the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value. All temperatures are in
52degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a range of -55 to +125 degrees.
53
54The THMC50 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
55will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
56
57The THMC50 is usually used in combination with LM78-like chips, to measure
58the temperature of the processor(s).
59
60The ADM1022 works the same as THMC50 but it is faster (5 Hz instead of
611 Hz for THMC50). It can be also put in a new mode to handle additional
62remote temperature sensor. The driver use the mode set by BIOS by default.
63
64In case the BIOS is broken and the mode is set incorrectly, you can force
65the mode with additional remote temperature with adm1022_temp3 parameter.
66A typical symptom of wrong setting is a fan forced to full speed.

68Driver Features
69---------------
70
71The driver provides up to three temperatures:
72
73temp1
74	- internal
75temp2
76	- remote
77temp3
78	- 2nd remote only for ADM1022
79
80pwm1
81	- fan speed (0 = stop, 255 = full)
82pwm1_mode
83	- always 0 (DC mode)
84
85The value of 0 for pwm1 also forces FAN_OFF signal from the chip,
86so it stops fans even if the value 0 into the ANALOG_OUT register does not.
87
88The driver was tested on Compaq AP550 with two ADM1022 chips (one works
89in the temp3 mode), five temperature readings and two fans.
