That's OK, all our drivers do that.

fan1_div is only indirectly related to the number of pulse per
revolutions emitted by the fan. Please read:

This doesn't match the code (and the code is right).

Note that I think that the documentation is a bit misleading about the
conditions in which bit 1 of the alarm register is set. The chip itself
has no idea about the actual fan speed, all it knows is a number of
clock cycles per half-revolution. For a 32 kHz clock, the max register
value (255) corresponds to 1920 RPMs, but for a different clock, the
limit would be different. What the chip really report is the register
overflow, not a specific speed limit.

I invite you to export the speed limit to user-space as fan1_min
(read-only), otherwise the user might wonder what the alarm flag
corresponds to.

This doesn't match the code, which lets the user update the values every
second (and quite rightly so.)

Please add a trailing comma at the end of the last line. Rationale:
this minimizes the changes when more values need to be added later.

I suggest using an inline function instead. Macros evaluating their
parameters more than once can be tricky.

You could also move this driver declaration to the end of the file, so
that you don't need to forward-declare g760a_probe and g760a_remove.

I can't see any value to these wrappers. Why don't you call
i2c_smbus_read_byte_data and i2c_smbus_write_byte_data directly?

No need to call g760a_update_client() for an attribute write,
i2c_get_clientdata() is enough.

What your driver (and this chip) implements is NOT pwm1. pwm1 would be
expressing a "raw" PWM duty cycle, while what the chip does is
closed-loop fan control. This is more powerful. In our standard
interface, this corresponds to fan1_target. This is also more
user-friendly, as the fan1_target value is expressed directly in RPM.

The rest of the code looks alright to me. Pretty impressive for a first
contribution. Well done!
