linux-toradex.git/Documentation/hwmon/adt7470, branch v3.2.2 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules adt7470: make automatic fan control really work 2009-01-06T23:59:18+00:00 Darrick J. Wong djwong@us.ibm.com 2009-01-06T22:41:34+00:00 89fac11cb3e7c5860c425dba14845c09ccede39d It turns out that the adt7470's automatic fan control algorithm only works when the temperature sensors get updated. This in turn happens only when someone tells the chip to read its temperature sensors. Regrettably, this means that we have to drive the chip periodically. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
