Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Description
-----------
The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) 47M1xx Super I/O chips
contain monitoring and PWM control circuitry for two fans.
The LPC47M15x, LPC47M192 and LPC47M292 chips contain a full 'hardware
monitoring block' in addition to the fan monitoring and control. The
hardware monitoring block is not supported by this driver, use the
smsc47m192 driver for that.
No documentation is available for the 47M997, but it has the same device
ID as the 47M15x and 47M192 chips and seems to be compatible.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. Fan
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. Not all RPM values can accurately be
represented, so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest
representable value is around 2600 RPM.
PWM values are from 0 to 255.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may
already have disappeared! Note that in the current implementation, all
hardware registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less
than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily
miss once-only alarms.
