 -----------------
 
 The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic

+"Smart Guardian" mode control handling is only implemented for older chips
+(see below.) However if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to
+pwmN_enable.
 
 If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
 try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
 it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
 used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
 read-only.

+Automatic fan speed control (old interface)
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The driver supports the old interface to automatic fan speed control
+which is implemented by IT8705F chips up to revision F and IT8712F
+chips up to revision G.
+
+This interface implements 4 temperature vs. PWM output trip points.
+The PWM output of trip point 4 is always the maximum value (fan running
+at full speed) while the PWM output of the other 3 trip points can be
+freely chosen. The temperature of all 4 trip points can be freely chosen.
+Additionally, trip point 1 has an hysteresis temperature attached, to
+prevent fast switching between fan on and off.
+
+The chip automatically computes the PWM output value based on the input
+temperature, based on this simple rule: if the temperature value is
+between trip point N and trip point N+1 then the PWM output value is
+the one of trip point N. The automatic control mode is less flexible
+than the manual control mode, but it reacts faster, is more robust and
+doesn't use CPU cycles.
+
+Trip points must be set properly before switching to automatic fan speed
+control mode. The driver will perform basic integrity checks before
+actually switching to automatic control mode.
