Hi Herbert,

Sorry for the late answer, I was very busy in late December, and then I
took two weeks of vacation.

The idea is precisely that count does _not_ stay the same. When you
change the divisor register value, the chip changes the way it measures
the fan speed and as a result the count register value will change.

Please avoid mixing regular single quotes and backquotes in the same
document.

RPM

> +a rpm value of -1 requests the maximum speed (i.e. pwm duty cycle of 100%).

I don't think that you want to do that. It's not very intuitive and not
part of our standard interface either. If the user wants the max speed,
he/she can write an arbitrarily high RPM value (e.g. 10000) and the
driver will pick the higher possible value.

That's indeed convenient, although it could also be a bit confusing.
But as long as the pwmconfig and fancontrol scripts cannot deal with
closed-loop control mode, I admit that having the pwm1 file will be
very handy. That's one more reason to not implement -1 as a special
value for fan1_target: the same effect can be achieved in a standard
manner by writing 255 to pwm1.

It might be worth documenting that fan1_min is read-only. Other chips
implement the fan minimum as a changeable value, the user might be
surprised.

That's not correct as it doesn't match the standard sysfs interface.
fan1_alarm should be raised when fan1_input is less than fan1_min, that
is, it corresponds to G760A_REG_FAN_STA_RPM_LOW, not
G760A_REG_FAN_STA_RPM_OFF.

For G760A_REG_FAN_STA_RPM_OFF, we do not yet have a standard sysfs file
name, but "fan1_target_alarm" would probably do. Feel tree to implement
this and document it in sysfs-interface.

That's pretty confusing, even if the computation is right in the end.
The default fan div is 2 not 1!

0x00 does not correspond to a valid speed, so that would rather be:
	return SENSORS_LIMIT(regval, 0x01, 0xfe);

All the rest looks fine to me now. Please send an updated version and
I'll ack it. I invite you to test your driver with lm-sensors 3.0, if
your sysfs interface is correct it should work well.
