@ -75,46 +75,64 @@ Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report their values in millivolts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit.
The bit ordering for the alarm "realtime status register" and the
"beep enable registers" are different.
The w83791d has a global bit used to enable beeping from the speaker when an
alarm is triggered as well as a bitmask to enable or disable the beep for
specific alarms. You need both the global beep enable bit and the
corresponding beep bit to be on for a triggered alarm to sound a beep.

The sysfs interface to the gloabal enable is via the sysfs beep_enable file.
This file is used for both legacy and new code.
*** NOTE: It is the responsibility of user-space code to handle the fact
that the beep enable and alarm bits are in different positions when using that
feature of the chip.
The sysfs interface to the beep bitmask has migrated from the original legacy
method of a single sysfs beep_mask file to a newer method using multiple
*_beep files as described in .../Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
When an alarm goes off, you can be warned by a beeping signal through your
computer speaker. It is possible to enable all beeping globally, or only
the beeping for some alarms.
A similar change has occured for the bitmap corresponding to the alarms. The
original legacy method used a single sysfs alarms file containing a bitmap
of triggered alarms. The newer method uses multiple sysfs *_alarm files
(again following the pattern described in sysfs-interface).
The driver only reads the chip values each 3 seconds; reading them more
often will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Since both methods read and write the underlying hardware, they can be used
interchangeably and changes in one will automatically be reflected by
the other. If you use the legacy bitmask method, your user-space code is
responsible for handling the fact that the alarms and beep_mask bitmaps
are not the same (see the table below).
NOTE: All new code should be written to use the newer sysfs-interface
specification as that avoids bitmap problems and is the preferred interface
going forward.
The driver reads the hardware chip values at most once every three seconds.
User mode code requesting values more often will receive cached values.

W83791D TODO:
---------------
Provide a patch for per-file alarms and beep enables as defined in the hwmon
documentation (Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface)
Provide a patch for smart-fan control (still need appropriate motherboard/fans)
