+===================

+Description
+-----------
+This driver implements support for the Microchip TC654 and TC655.
+
+The TC654 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
+specification. The TC654 has two (2) inputs for measuring fan RPM and
+one (1) PWM output which can be used for fan control.
+
+Configuration Notes
+-------------------
+Ordinarily the pwm1_mode ABI is used for controlling the pwm output
+mode. However, for this chip the output is always pwm, and the
+pwm1_mode determines if the pwm output is controlled via the pwm1 value
+or via the Vin analog input.
+
+
+Setting pwm1_mode to 1 will cause the pwm output to be driven based on
+the pwm1 value. Setting pwm1_mode to 0 will cause the pwm output to be
+driven based on the Vin input.

+Kernel driver tmp108
+====================
+
+Supported chips:

+Author:

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The Texas Instruments TMP108 implements one temperature sensor. An alert pin
+can be set when temperatures exceed minimum or maximum values plus or minus a
+hysteresis value. (This driver does not support interrupts for the alert pin,
+and the device runs in comparator mode.)
+
+The sensor is accurate to 0.75C over the range of -25 to +85 C, and to 1.0
+degree from -40 to +125 C. Resolution of the sensor is 0.0625 degree. The
+operating temperature has a minimum of -55 C and a maximum of +150 C.
+Hysteresis values can be set to 0, 1, 2, or 4C.
+
+The TMP108 has a programmable update rate that can select between 8, 4, 1, and
+0.5 Hz.
+
+By default the TMP108 reads the temperature continuously. To conserve power,
+the TMP108 has a one-shot mode where the device is normally shut-down. When a
+one shot is requested the temperature is read, the result can be retrieved,
+and then the device is shut down automatically. (This driver only supports
+continuous mode.)
+
+The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
+Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).
