  The chips support up to 25 temperature monitoring sources. Up to 6 of those are
  direct temperature sensor inputs, the others are special sources such as PECI,
  PCH, and SMBUS. Depending on the chip type, 2 to 6 of the temperature sources
  can be monitored and compared against minimum, maximum, and critical
  temperatures. The driver reports up to 10 of the temperatures to the user.
  There are 4 to 5 fan rotation speed sensors, 8 to 15 analog voltage sensors,
  one VID, alarms with beep warnings (control unimplemented), and some automatic
  fan regulation strategies (plus manual fan control mode).
  
  The temperature sensor sources on all chips are configurable. The configured
  source for each of the temperature sensors is provided in tempX_label.
  
  Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
  either 1 degC or 0.5 degC, depending on the temperature source and
  configuration. An alarm is triggered when the temperature gets higher than
  the high limit; it stays on until the temperature falls below the hysteresis
  value. Alarms are only supported for temp1 to temp6, depending on the chip type.
  
  Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
  triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. On
  NCT6775F, fan readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4, 8,
  16, 32, 64 or 128) to give the readings more range or accuracy; the other chips
  do not have a fan speed divider. The driver sets the most suitable fan divisor

  itself; specifically, it increases the divider value each time a fan speed
  reading returns an invalid value, and it reduces it if the fan speed reading
  is lower than optimal. Some fans might not be present because they share pins

  with other functions.
  
  Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
  An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
  or maximum limit.
  
  The driver supports automatic fan control mode known as Thermal Cruise.
  In this mode, the chip attempts to keep the measured temperature in a
  predefined temperature range. If the temperature goes out of range, fan
  is driven slower/faster to reach the predefined range again.
  
  The mode works for fan1-fan5.

  			Set to 0 to disable secondary temperature control.
  
  If secondary temperature functionality is enabled, it is controlled with the
  following attributes.
  
  pwm[1-5]_weight_duty_step
  			Duty step size.
  pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step
  			Temperature step size. With each step over
  			temp_step_base, the value of weight_duty_step is added
  			to the current pwm value.
  pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_base
  			Temperature at which secondary temperature control kicks
  			in.
  pwm[1-5]_weight_temp_step_tol
  			Temperature step tolerance.

  Thermal Cruise mode (2)
  -----------------------
  
  If the temperature is in the range defined by:
  
  pwm[1-5]_target_temp	Target temperature, unit millidegree Celsius
  			(range 0 - 127000)
  pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
  			Target temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
  
  there are no changes to fan speed. Once the temperature leaves the interval, fan
  speed increases (if temperature is higher that desired) or decreases (if
  temperature is lower than desired), using the following limits and time
  intervals.
  
  pwm[1-5]_start		fan pwm start value (range 1 - 255), to start fan
  			when the temperature is above defined range.
  pwm[1-5]_floor		lowest fan pwm (range 0 - 255) if temperature is below
  			the defined range. If set to 0, the fan is expected to
  			stop if the temperature is below the defined range.
  pwm[1-5]_step_up_time	milliseconds before fan speed is increased
  pwm[1-5]_step_down_time	milliseconds before fan speed is decreased
  pwm[1-5]_stop_time	how many milliseconds must elapse to switch
  			corresponding fan off (when the temperature was below
  			defined range).
  
  Speed Cruise mode (3)
  ---------------------
  
  This modes tries to keep the fan speed constant.
  
  fan[1-5]_target		Target fan speed
  fan[1-5]_tolerance
  			Target speed tolerance
  
  
  Untested; use at your own risk.
  
  Smart Fan IV mode (5)
  ---------------------
  
  This mode offers multiple slopes to control the fan speed. The slopes can be
  controlled by setting the pwm and temperature attributes. When the temperature
  rises, the chip will calculate the DC/PWM output based on the current slope.
  There are up to seven data points depending on the chip type. Subsequent data
  points should be set to higher temperatures and higher pwm values to achieve
  higher fan speeds with increasing temperature. The last data point reflects
  critical temperature mode, in which the fans should run at full speed.
  
  pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_pwm
  			pwm value to be set if temperature reaches matching
  			temperature range.
  pwm[1-5]_auto_point[1-7]_temp
  			Temperature over which the matching pwm is enabled.
  pwm[1-5]_temp_tolerance
  			Temperature tolerance, unit millidegree Celsius
  pwm[1-5]_crit_temp_tolerance
  			Temperature tolerance for critical temperature,
  			unit millidegree Celsius
  
  pwm[1-5]_step_up_time	milliseconds before fan speed is increased
  pwm[1-5]_step_down_time	milliseconds before fan speed is decreased

  Usage Notes
  -----------
  
  On various ASUS boards with NCT6776F, it appears that CPUTIN is not really
  connected to anything and floats, or that it is connected to some non-standard
  temperature measurement device. As a result, the temperature reported on CPUTIN
  will not reflect a usable value. It often reports unreasonably high
  temperatures, and in some cases the reported temperature declines if the actual
  temperature increases (similar to the raw PECI temperature value - see PECI
  specification for details). CPUTIN should therefore be be ignored on ASUS
  boards. The CPU temperature on ASUS boards is reported from PECI 0.
