Sure, we have subsystem for fans. You have power supply or battery - we have stuff for this as well. Greetings Krzysztof, Thanks for your feedback. In this case for something like fans as you suggest above would it be acceptable for the fans to call into plreg(the proposed driver) just to read the fan related registers with the fan driver knowing what offset to use? Multiple drivers will need to access registers in this memory range so I am trying to determine if they all need to map this area or all goto one source to read/write to it. Thanks, -Nick Hawkins
