Description
-----------
SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.
hwmon: (sch5627) Add pwmX_auto_channels_temp support After doing some research, it seems that Fujitsu's hardware monitoring solution exports data describing which temperature sensors affect which fans, similar to the data in fan_source of the ftsteutates driver. Writing 0 into these registers forces the fans to full speed. Export this data with standard attributes.

In addition, the SCH5627 exports data describing which temperature sensors
affect the speed of each fan. Setting pwmX_auto_channels_temp to 0 forces
the corresponding fan to full speed until another value is written.
hwmon: (sch56xx) Add support for the integrated watchdog (v2) Add support for the watchdog integrated into the SMSC SCH5627 and SCH5636 superio-s. Since the watchdog is part of the hwmon logical device and thus shares ioports with it, the watchdog driver is integrated into the existing hwmon drivers for these. Note that this version of the watchdog support for sch56xx superio-s implements the watchdog chardev interface itself, rather then relying on the recently added watchdog core / watchdog_dev. This is done because currently some needed functionality is missing from watchdog_dev, as soon as this functionality is added (which is being discussed on the linux-watchdog mailinglist), I'll convert this driver over to using watchdog_dev.

The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device.

hwmon: (sch5627) Document behaviour of limit registers The values of the limit registers affect the fan speed in a particular way. Document this behaviour so that future users can exploit it if required.

Controlling fan speed
---------------------
The SCH5627 allows for partially controlling the fan speed. If a temperature
channel excedes tempX_max, all fans are forced to maximum speed. The same is not
true for tempX_crit, presumably some other measures to cool down the system are
take in this case.
In which way the value of fanX_min affects the fan speed is currently unknown.
