  Description
  -----------
  
  SMSC SCH5636 Super I/O chips include an embedded microcontroller for
  hardware monitoring solutions, allowing motherboard manufacturers to create
  their own custom hwmon solution based upon the SCH5636.
  
  Currently the sch5636 driver only supports the Fujitsu Theseus SCH5636 based
  hwmon solution. The sch5636 driver runs a sanity check on loading to ensure
  it is dealing with a Fujitsu Theseus and not with another custom SCH5636 based
  hwmon solution.
  
  The Fujitsu Theseus can monitor up to 5 voltages, 8 fans and 16
  temperatures. Note that the driver detects how many fan headers /
  temperature sensors are actually implemented on the motherboard, so you will
  likely see fewer temperature and fan inputs.
  
  An application note describing the Theseus' registers, as well as an
  application note describing the protocol for communicating with the
  microcontroller is available upon request. Please mail me if you want a copy.
