    hwmon: (f75375s) Properly map the F75387 automatic modes to pwm_enable · b17d6561
    Nikolaus Schulz authored
    The F75387 supports automatic fan control using either PWM duty cycle or
    RPM speed values.  Make the driver detect the latter mode, and expose the
    different modes in sysfs as per pwm_enable, so that the user can switch
    between them.
    
    The interpretation of the pwm_enable attribute for the F75387 is adjusted
    to be a superset of those values used for similar Fintek chips which do
    not support automatic duty mode, with 2 mapping to automatic speed mode,
    and moving automatic duty mode to the new value 4.
    
    Toggling the duty mode via pwm_enable is currently denied for the F75387,
    as the chip then simply reinterprets the fan configuration register values
    according to the new mode, switching between RPM and PWM units, which
    makes this a dangerous operation.
    
    This patch introduces a new pwm mode into the driver. This is necessary
    because the new mode (automatic pwm mode, 4) may already be enabled by the
    BIOS, and the driver should not break existing functionality. This was seen
    on at least one board.
