hwmon: New driver for the SMSC EMC6W201
This is a new driver for the SMSC EMC6W201 hardware monitoring device. The device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is register-incompatible.

Kernel driver emc6w201
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Supported chips:
|
||||
* SMSC EMC6W201
|
||||
Prefix: 'emc6w201'

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
From the datasheet:
|
||||
|
||||
"The EMC6W201 is an environmental monitoring device with automatic fan
|
||||
control capability and enhanced system acoustics for noise suppression.
|
||||
This ACPI compliant device provides hardware monitoring for up to six
|
||||
voltages (including its own VCC) and five external thermal sensors,
|
||||
measures the speed of up to five fans, and controls the speed of
|
||||
multiple DC fans using three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs. Note
|
||||
that it is possible to control more than three fans by connecting two
|
||||
fans to one PWM output. The EMC6W201 will be available in a 36-pin
|
||||
QFN package."
|
||||
|
||||
The device is functionally close to the EMC6D100 series, but is
|
||||
register-incompatible.
|
||||
|
||||
The driver currently only supports the monitoring of the voltages,
|
||||
temperatures and fan speeds. Limits can be changed. Alarms are not
|
||||
supported, and neither is fan speed control.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Known Systems With EMC6W201
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The EMC6W201 is a rare device, only found on a few systems, made in
|
||||
2005 and 2006. Known systems with this device:
|
||||
* Dell Precision 670 workstation
|
||||
* Gigabyte 2CEWH mainboard
