+GMT G762/G763 PWM Fan controller
+
+Required node properties:
+
+ - "compatible": must be either "gmt,g762" or "gmt,g763"
+ - "reg": I2C bus address of the device
+ - "clocks": a fixed clock providing input clock frequency
+ on CLK pin of the chip.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+ - "fan_startv": fan startup voltage. Accepted values are 0, 1, 2 and 3.
+ The higher the more.
+
+ - "pwm_polarity": pwm polarity. Accepted values are 0 (positive duty)
+ and 1 (negative duty).
+
+ - "fan_gear_mode": fan gear mode. Supported values are 0, 1 and 2.
+
+If an optional property is not set in .dts file, then current value is kept
+unmodified (e.g. u-boot installed value).
+
+Additional information on operational parameters for the device is available
+in Documentation/hwmon/g762. A detailed datasheet for the device is available
+at http://natisbad.org/NAS/refs/GMT_EDS-762_763-080710-0.2.pdf.
+
+Example g762 node:
+
+ clocks {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ g762_clk: fixedclk {
+ compatible = "fixed-clock";
+ #clock-cells = <0>;
+ clock-frequency = <8192>;
+ }
+ }
+
+ g762: g762@3e {
+ compatible = "gmt,g762";
+ reg = <0x3e>;
+ clocks = <&g762_clk>
+ fan_gear_mode = <0>; /* chip default */
+ fan_startv = <1>; /* chip default */
+ pwm_polarity = <0>; /* chip default */
+ };

+Kernel driver g762
+==================
+
+The GMT G762 Fan Speed PWM Controller is connected directly to a fan
+and performs closed-loop or open-loop control of the fan speed. Two
+modes - PWM or DC - are supported by the device.
+
+For additional information, a detailed datasheet is available at
+http://natisbad.org/NAS/ref/GMT_EDS-762_763-080710-0.2.pdf. sysfs
+bindings are described in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
+
+The following entries are available to the user in a subdirectory of
+/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/g762/ to control the operation of the device.
+This can be done manually using the following entries but is usually
+done via a userland daemon like fancontrol.
+
+Note that those entries do not provide ways to setup the specific
+hardware characteristics of the system (reference clock, pulses per
+fan revolution, ...); Those can be modified via devicetree bindings
+documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/g762.txt or
+using a specific platform_data structure in board initialization
+file (see include/linux/platform_data/g762.h).
+
+ fan1_target: set desired fan speed. This only makes sense in closed-loop
+ fan speed control (i.e. when pwm1_enable is set to 2).
+
+ fan1_input: provide current fan rotation value in RPM as reported by
+ the fan to the device.
+
+ fan1_div: fan clock divisor. Supported value are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
+
+ fan1_pulses: number of pulses per fan revolution. Supported values
+ are 2 and 4.
+
+ fan1_fault: reports fan failure, i.e. no transition on fan gear pin for
+ about 0.7s (if the fan is not voluntarily set off).
+
+ fan1_alarm: in closed-loop control mode, if fan RPM value is 25% out
+ of the programmed value for over 6 seconds 'fan1_alarm' is
+ set to 1.
+
+ pwm1_enable: set current fan speed control mode i.e. 1 for manual fan
+ speed control (open-loop) via pwm1 described below, 2 for
+ automatic fan speed control (closed-loop) via fan1_target
+ above.
+
+ pwm1_mode: set or get fan driving mode: 1 for PWM mode, 0 for DC mode.
+
+ pwm1: get or set PWM fan control value in open-loop mode. This is an
+ integer value between 0 and 255. 0 stops the fan, 255 makes
+ it run at full speed.
+
+Both in PWM mode ('pwm1_mode' set to 1) and DC mode ('pwm1_mode' set to 0),
+when current fan speed control mode is open-loop ('pwm1_enable' set to 1),
+the fan speed is programmed by setting a value between 0 and 255 via 'pwm1'
+entry (0 stops the fan, 255 makes it run at full speed). In closed-loop mode
+('pwm1_enable' set to 2), the expected rotation speed in RPM can be passed to
+the chip via 'fan1_target'. In closed-loop mode, the target speed is compared
+with current speed (available via 'fan1_input') by the device and a feedback
+is performed to match that target value. The fan speed value is computed
+based on the parameters associated with the physical characteristics of the
+system: a reference clock source frequency, a number of pulses per fan
+revolution, etc.
+
+Note that the driver will update its values at most once per second.
