Kernel driver max31785
======================

Supported chips:

  * Maxim MAX31785, MAX31785A

    Prefix: 'max31785' or 'max31785a'

Description
-----------

The Maxim MAX31785 is a PMBus device providing closed-loop, multi-channel fan
management with temperature and remote voltage sensing. Various fan control
features are provided, including PWM frequency control, temperature hysteresis,
dual tachometer measurements, and fan health monitoring.

For dual-rotor configurations the MAX31785A exposes the second rotor tachometer
readings in attributes fan[5-8]_input. By contrast the MAX31785 only exposes
the slowest rotor measurement, and does so in the fan[1-4]_input attributes.

Usage Notes
-----------

This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
devices explicitly.

in[1-6]_crit		Critical maximum output voltage
in[1-6]_crit_alarm	Output voltage critical high alarm
in[1-6]_input		Measured output voltage
in[1-6]_label		"vout[18-23]"
in[1-6]_lcrit		Critical minimum output voltage
in[1-6]_lcrit_alarm	Output voltage critical low alarm
in[1-6]_max		Maximum output voltage
in[1-6]_max_alarm	Output voltage high alarm
in[1-6]_min		Minimum output voltage
in[1-6]_min_alarm	Output voltage low alarm

pwm[1-4]		Fan target duty cycle (0..255)
pwm[1-4]_enable		0: Full-speed
