+Kernel driver coretemp
+======================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * All Intel Core family
+ Prefix: 'coretemp'
+ CPUID: family 0x6, models 0xe, 0xf
+ Datasheet: Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual
+ Volume 3A: System Programming Guide
+
+Author: Rudolf Marek
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver permits reading temperature sensor embedded inside Intel Core CPU.
+Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
+1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
+the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
+
+Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of processor.
+Intel defines this temperature as 85C or 100C. At this temperature, protection
+mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. Alarm
+may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger
+the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files:
+
+temp1_input - Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
+temp1_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
+temp1_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
+ Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed.
+temp1_label - Contains string "Core X", where X is processor
+ number.
+
+The TjMax temperature is set to 85 degrees C if undocumented model specific
+register (UMSR) 0xee has bit 30 set. If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as
+(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet.

+Kernel driver max6650

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Maxim 6650/6651
+
+The 2 devices are very similar, but the Maxim 6550 has a reduced feature
+set, e.g. only one fan-input, instead of 4 for the 6651.
+
+The driver is not able to distinguish between the 2 devices.
+
+The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs:
+
+fan1_input ro fan tachometer speed in RPM
+fan2_input ro "
+fan3_input ro "
+fan4_input ro "
+fan1_target rw desired fan speed in RPM (closed loop mode only)
+pwm1_enable rw regulator mode, 0=full on, 1=open loop, 2=closed loop
+pwm1 rw relative speed (0-255), 255=max. speed.
+ Used in open loop mode only.
+fan1_div rw sets the speed range the inputs can handle. Legal
+ values are 1, 2, 4, and 8. Use lower values for
+ faster fans.
+
+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.
