2007-02-25T23:55:22+00:00

Add support for the Winbond W83687THF chip to the w83627hf hardware
monitoring driver. This new chip is almost similar to the already
supported W83627THF chip, except for VID and a few other minor
changes.

w83791d: Documentation update

2007-02-25T23:50:40+00:00

The alarm bits and the beep enable bits are in different positions in
the hardware. Document the problem and leave it to the user-space code
to handle the situation. When this driver is updated to the standardized
sysfs alarm/beep methodology, this won't be a problem.

This is a documentation only change.

HWMON: w83791d: New hardware monitoring driver for the Winbond W83791D

2007-02-25T23:49:39+00:00

Add support for the w83791d sensor chip. The w83791d hardware is
somewhere between the w83781d and the w83792d and this driver code
is derived from the code that supports those chips.

hwmon: New PC87427 hardware monitoring driver

2007-02-25T23:46:17+00:00

This is a new hardware monitoring driver for the National Semiconductor
PC87427 Super-I/O chip. It only supports fan speed monitoring for now,
while the chip can do much more.

Thanks to Amir Habibi at Candelis for setting up a test system, and to
Michael Kress for testing several iterations of this driver.
