-Description
------------
-
-The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
-the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
-MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
-Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
-ADM1021-clones.
-
-The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
-code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
-otherwise.
-
-ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
-and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
-is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
-indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
-
-Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
-corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
-out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
-are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
-
-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!
-
-This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
-will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
-ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
-for that.
-
-Xeon support
-------------
-
-Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips
-within them, with two temperature sensors.
-
-Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor.
-
-If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures
-appear valid, then things are good.
-
-If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this:
- modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS
- ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
-
-If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate
-adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct
-addresses.
