Automatic "Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented.

The same frequency is +used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are +read-only. diff --git a/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface b/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface index efef3b962cd3..d73d2e8c7534 100644 --- a/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface +++ b/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface @@ -166,16 +166,21 @@ pwm[1-*] Pulse width modulation fan control. pwm[1-*]_enable Switch PWM on and off. - Not always present even if fan*_pwm is. + Not always present even if pwmN is. 0: turn off 1: turn on in manual mode 2+: turn on in automatic mode - Check individual chip documentation files for automatic mode details. + Check individual chip documentation files for automatic mode + details.
