+Kernel driver g762
+==================
+
+This documentation is based on G760a one, GMT G762 datasheet available
+at http://natisbad.org/NAS/ref/GMT_EDS-762_763-080710-0.2.pdf (used
+for the development of the driver) and sysfs bindings described in
+Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
+
+The GMT G762 Fan Speed PWM Controller is connected directly to a fan
+and performs closed-loop or open-loop control of the fan speed. Two
+modes - PWM or linear - are supported by the device.
+
+The following entries are available to the user in a subdirectory of
+/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/g762/ to control the operation of the device.
+Some of those can be used to fit operations of the controller to the
+characteristics of the system (reference clock value, fan gear mode,
+number of pulses per fan revolution, ...). Other more common
+parameters can be used to interact with the fan and control its speed
+(set a rotation speed and get current speed for instance). This can be
+done manually using the following entries but is usually done via a
+userland daemon like fancontrol.
+
+
+ fan1_target: set desired fan speed. This only makes sense in closed-loop
+ fan speed control (i.e. when pwm1_enable is set to 2).
+
+ fan1_input: provide current fan rotation value in RPM as reported by
+ the fan to the device.
+
+ fan1_pulses: number of tachometer pulses per fan revolution. Supported
+ values are 2 and 4. Default value is 2.
+
+ fan1_div: fan clock divisor. Supported value are 1, 2, 4 and 8. Default
+ value is 1.
+
+ fan1_gear_mode: fan gear mode. Supported values are 0, 1 and 2. Default
+ value is 0. The value is a characteristic of the system
+ and a higher value can be set for more precisely control
+ fans with a high rotation speed. Note that this affects the
+ measurable speed range, not the read value.
+
+ fan1_fault: reports fan failure, i.e. no transition on fan gear pin for
+ about 0.7s (if the fan is not voluntarily set off).
+
+ fan1_fault_detection: enable fan failure detection and reporting as
+ described above.
+
+ fan1_alarm: in closed-loop control mode, if fan RPM value is 25% out
+ of the programmed value for over 6 seconds 'fan1_alarm' is
+ set to 1.
+
+ fan1_alarm_detection: enable fan out of control detection and reporting
+ as described above.
+
+ fan1_startup_voltage: get or set fan startup voltage. Supported values
+ are 0, 1, 2, 3 (respectively for 1.0V, 1.5V, 2.0V and 2.5V).
+
+
+
+ pwm1: get or set PWM fan control value. This is an integer value
+ between 0 and 255. 0 stops the fan, 255 makes it run at
+ full speed.
+
+ pwm1_polarity: set or get the PWM polarity, 0 for positive duty, 1 for
+ negative duty
+
+ pwm1_enable: set current fan speed control mode i.e. 1 for manual fan
+ speed control (open-loop), 2 for automatic fan speed control
+ (closed-loop).
+
+ pwm1_mode: set or get fan driving mode: 1 for PWM mode, 0 for linear
+ mode. Default is linear mode.
+
+ pwm1_freq: set or get value of PWM reference clock frequency. Default
+ value is 32768 (Hz). This parameter only makes sense when
+ the device is set to operate in PWM mode (i.e. pwm1_mode
+ is 1).
+
+
+In PWM mode ('pwm1_mode' set to 1), the fan speed is programmed either by
+setting a value between 0 and 255 via 'pwm1' entry (0 stops the fan, 255
+makes it run at full speed). This can also be done by passing the
+expected RPM value via 'fan1_target'. Current fan speed value can be
+retrieved via 'fan1_input'. This fan speed value is computed based on
+the parameters associated with the physical characteristics of the
+system: a reference clock source frequency, a number of pulses per fan
+revolution, etc.
+
+Note that the driver will update its values at most once per second.
