Legal + values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Use lower values for + faster fans. + +Usage notes +----------- + +This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the +devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for +details. + +Module parameters +----------------- + +If your board has a BIOS that initializes the MAX6650/6651 correctly, you can +simply load your module without parameters. It won't touch the configuration +registers then. If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want +different settings, you can set the following parameters: + +voltage_12V: 5=5V fan, 12=12V fan, 0=don't change +prescaler: Possible values are 1,2,4,8,16, or 0 for don't change +clock: The clock frequency in Hz of the chip the driver should assume [254000] + +Please have a look at the MAX6650/6651 data sheet and make sure that you fully +understand the meaning of these parameters before you attempt to change them. + -- cgit v1.2.3
