 When the PWM method is used, you can select the operating frequency,
 from 187.5 kHz (default) to 31 Hz. The best frequency depends on the
 fan model. As a rule of thumb, lower frequencies seem to give better

+Three different fan control modes are supported; the mode number is written
+to the pwm<n>_enable file.
 
-* Manual mode
-  You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle or DC voltage.
+* 1: Manual mode
+  You ask for a specific PWM duty cycle or DC voltage by writing to the

-* Fan speed mode
-  You ask for a specific fan speed. This mode assumes that pwm1
-  corresponds to fan1, pwm2 to fan2 and pwm3 to fan3.
+* 2: Temperature mode
+  You define 3 temperature/fan speed trip points using the
+  pwm<n>_auto_point<m>_temp and _fan files. These define a staircase
+  relationship between temperature and fan speed with two additional points
+  interpolated between the values that you define. When the temperature
+  is below auto_point1_temp the fan is switched off.
 
-* Temperature mode
-  You define 3 temperature/fan speed trip points, and the fan speed is
