+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Texas Instruments amc6821 chip.
+The chip has one on-chip and one remote temperature sensor and one pwm fan
+regulator.
+The pwm can be controlled either from software or automatically.
+
+The driver provides the following sensor accesses in sysfs:

+				temperature channels.
+

+				which is rw. Below this temperature fan stops.
+temp1_auto_point2_temp	rw	The low-temperature limit of the proportional
+				range. Below this temperature
+				pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from
+				0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps of
+				4 degree C. Read it out after writing to get
+				the actual value.
+temp1_auto_point3_temp	rw	Above this temperature fan runs at maximum
+				speed. It can go from temp1_auto_point2_temp.
+				It can only have certain discrete values
+				which depend on temp1_auto_point2_temp and
+				pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after
+				writing to get the actual value.
+
+temp2_auto_point1_temp	rw	Must be between 0 degree C and 63 degree C and
+				it defines the passive cooling temperature.
+				Below this temperature the fan stops in
+				the closed loop mode.
+temp2_auto_point2_temp	rw	The low-temperature limit of the proportional
+				range. Below this temperature
+				pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from
+				0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps
+				of 4 degree C.

+				speed. It can only have certain discrete
+				values which depend on temp2_auto_point2_temp
+				and pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after
+				writing to get actual value.
+
+
+Module parameters
+-----------------
+
+If your board has a BIOS that initializes the amc6821 correctly, you should
+load the module with: init=0.
+
+If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want
+different settings, you can set the following parameters:
+init=1,
+pwminv: 0 default pwm output, 1 inverts pwm output.

+An arch may pass in a unique value (frame pointer) to both the entering and
+exiting of a function.  On exit, the value is compared and if it does not
+match, then it will panic the kernel.  This is largely a sanity check for bad
+code generation with gcc.  If gcc for your port sanely updates the frame
+pointer under different opitmization levels, then ignore this option.
+
+However, adding support for it isn't terribly difficult.  In your assembly code
+that calls prepare_ftrace_return(), pass the frame pointer as the 3rd argument.
+Then in the C version of that function, do what the x86 port does and pass it
+along to ftrace_push_return_trace() instead of a stub value of 0.

+Similarly, when you call ftrace_return_to_handler(), pass it the frame pointer.
