From d82d57767c85984132cde4efaf89ad6db290cda3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kamil Debski Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 17:46:42 +0200 Subject: hwmon: Add pwm-fan driver The pwm-fan driver enables control of fans connected to PWM lines. This driver uses the PWM framework, so it is compatible with all PWM devices that provide drivers through the PWM framework.

It uses the generic PWM interface, thus it can be used with +a range of SoCs. The driver exposes the fan to the user space through +the hwmon's sysfs interface. -- cgit
