Description

This driver implements support for Maxim MAX6620 fan controller.

The driver configures the fan controller in RPM mode. To give the readings more range or accuracy, the desired value can be set by a programmable register (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32). Set higher values for larger speeds.

The driver provides the following sensor access in sysfs:

fan[1-4]_alarm

ro

Fan alarm.

fan[1-4]_div

rw

Sets the nominal RPM range of the fan. Valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.

fan[1-4]_input

ro

Fan speed in RPM.

fan[1-4]_target

rw

Desired fan speed in RPM.

Usage notes

This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly. Please see How to instantiate I2C devices for details.
