I don't see a README.  What's w83627ehf.c.18?

Something's weird.

# cat pwm2_enable
5
# cat pwm2_mode
1
# echo 1 >pwm2_enable
# cat pwm2_enable
5
# echo 1 >pwm2_enable
# cat pwm2_enable
5
# echo 2 >pwm2_enable
# cat pwm2_enable
6

[fiddle with pwm2 here.  values written stick but have no effect.]

# echo 3 >pwm2_enable
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat pwm2_enable
8
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# echo 1 >pwm2_enable
[root@midnight w83627ehf.656]# cat pwm2_enable
8

Note: I won't swear that my motherboard uses this particular chip to
drive the PWMs, but I assume it does since it can certainly measure
fan speed w/ this chip and it controls the PWMs somehow.

Alarm code still seems to work.
