Set higher values for larger speeds. + +The driver provides the following sensor access in sysfs: + +================ ======= ===================================================== +fan[1-4]_alarm ro Fan alarm. +fan[1-4]_div rw Sets the nominal RPM range of the fan.

You will have to instantiate the +devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for +details. |
