it8712 rev 7; fan speeds reported incorrectly.

We have 3 monitored fans. They all showed the same behaviour.
I make absolutely no claims that rev 8 is correct - it just gets us out of a hole :-)

I'll resubmit the patch if needs be...would be good to get to the bottom of this first. If I get chance I'll have a look at the specs.

Best regards

John

Thanks for reporting. I don't have access to my collection of IT87xx
datasheets and personal notes on chip revisions, so I can't check
now. I will check when I am back home. Andrew, what do you think?

John, how many fans are monitored on your systems, and were they all
screwed up in 2.6.27-rc5, or only some of them?

Patch was totally destroyed by your mailer, so we can't apply it.
Please resend with HTML mails disabled or as a text attachment, or
whatever is needed for the patch to reach us in its original format.
We will also need a Signed-off-by statement from you as described in
section 12 of Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks,
