+Fan speed control
+-----------------
+
The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.
+
+If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
+try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
+it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
+used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
+read-only.

+Implementation Details
+----------------------
+
+Future driver development should bear in mind that the following registers have
+different functions on the 627EHF and the 627DHG. Some registers also have
+different power-on default values, but BIOS should already be loading
+appropriate defaults. Note that bank selection must be performed as is currently
+done in the driver for all register addresses.
+
+0x49: only on DHG, selects temperature source for AUX fan, CPU fan0
+0x4a: not completely documented for the EHF and the DHG documentation assigns
+ different behavior to bits 7 and 6, including extending the temperature
+ input selection to SmartFan I, not just SmartFan III. Testing on the EHF
+ will reveal whether they are compatible or not.
+
+0x58: Chip ID: 0xa1=EHF 0xc1=DHG
+0x5e: only on DHG, has bits to enable "current mode" temperature detection and
+ critical temperature protection
+0x45b: only on EHF, bit 3, vin4 alarm (EHF supports 10 inputs, only 9 on DHG)
+0x552: only on EHF, vin4
+0x558: only on EHF, vin4 high limit
+0x559: only on EHF, vin4 low limit
+0x6b: only on DHG, SYS fan critical temperature
+0x6c: only on DHG, CPU fan0 critical temperature
+0x6d: only on DHG, AUX fan critical temperature
+0x6e: only on DHG, CPU fan1 critical temperature
+
+0x50-0x55 and 0x650-0x657 are marked "Test Register" for the EHF, but "Reserved
+ Register" for the DHG
+
+The DHG also supports PECI, where the DHG queries Intel CPU temperatures, and
+the ICH8 southbridge gets that data via PECI from the DHG, so that the
+southbridge drives the fans. And the DHG supports SST, a one-wire serial bus.
