The implementation still makes use After thinking about it, that is what it should be. If I accept it as non-PMBus driver, it will be all but impossible to convert it to a PMBus driver later on, and that just doesn't make any sense. With no one interested in writing that driver, I'll try to give it some more priority myself. I do have an evaluation board somewhere, which should help. Note that the second fan reading should be implemented as just that, not with a non-standard attribute.
