  Description
  -----------
  
  This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADM1026. Analog
  Devices calls it a "complete thermal system management controller."
  
  The ADM1026 implements three (3) temperature sensors, 17 voltage sensors,
  16 general purpose digital I/O lines, eight (8) fan speed sensors (8-bit),
  an analog output and a PWM output along with limit, alarm and mask bits for
  all of the above. There is even 8k bytes of EEPROM memory on chip.
  
  Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two external
  sensor inputs and one internal sensor. Each sensor has a high and low
  limit. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt (#SMBALERT) can be
  generated. The interrupts can be masked. In addition, there are over-temp
  limits for each sensor. If this limit is exceeded, the #THERM output will
  be asserted. The current temperature and limits have a resolution of 1
  degree.
  
  Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute) but measured
  in counts of a 22.5kHz internal clock. Each fan has a high limit which
  corresponds to a minimum fan speed. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt
  can be generated. Each fan can be programmed to divide the reference clock
  by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some
  rounding is done. With a divider of 8, the slowest measurable speed of a
  two pulse per revolution fan is 661 RPM.
  
  There are 17 voltage sensors. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has
  crossed a programmable minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this
  case always means 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage
  measurements. Several inputs have integrated attenuators so they can measure
  higher voltages directly. 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V and battery voltage all have
  dedicated inputs. There are several inputs scaled to 0-3V full-scale range
  for SCSI terminator power. The remaining inputs are not scaled and have
  a 0-2.5V full-scale range. A 2.5V or 1.82V reference voltage is provided
  for negative voltage measurements.
  
  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! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
  registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 2.0
  seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
  once-only alarms.
  
  The ADM1026 measures continuously. Analog inputs are measured about 4
  times a second. Fan speed measurement time depends on fan speed and
  divisor. It can take as long as 1.5 seconds to measure all fan speeds.
  
  The ADM1026 has the ability to automatically control fan speed based on the
  temperature sensor inputs. Both the PWM output and the DAC output can be
  used to control fan speed. Usually only one of these two outputs will be
  used. Write the minimum PWM or DAC value to the appropriate control
  register. Then set the low temperature limit in the tmin values for each

  temperature sensor. The range of control is fixed at 20 °C, and the

  largest difference between current and tmin of the temperature sensors sets
  the control output. See the datasheet for several example circuits for
  controlling fan speed with the PWM and DAC outputs. The fan speed sensors
  do not have PWM compensation, so it is probably best to control the fan
  voltage from the power lead rather than on the ground lead.
  
  The datasheet shows an example application with VID signals attached to
  GPIO lines. Unfortunately, the chip may not be connected to the VID lines
  in this way. The driver assumes that the chips *is* connected this way to
  get a VID voltage.
