Frodo Looijaard bc05162c08 GL518SM documentation and library support update
* The library can now read GL518SM revision 0x00 voltages (in the worst case,
  it will read zeros if the module was not inserted with readall=1)
* The readall parameter is now documented through MODULE_PARM_DESC
* Note my remarks in the TODO file

Description
-----------
This driver supports the Genesys Logic GL518SM chip. There are at least
two revision of this chip, which we call revision 0x00 and 0x80. Revision
0x80 chips support the reading of voltages directly, 0x00 only for VIN3.
The GL518SM implements one temperature sensor, two FAN rotation speed
sensors, and four voltage sensors. It can report alarms through the
computer speakers.
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celcius. An alarm goes off while the
temperature is above the over temperature limit, and has not yet dropped
below the hysteris limit. The alarm always reflects the current situation.
Measurements are guaranteed between -40 degrees and +125 degrees, with
a resolution of 1 degree.
FAN rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit. FAN
readings can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2, 4 or 8) to give
the readings more range or accuracy. This is important because some FANs
report only one 'tick' each rotation, while others report two - making
all readings twice as high. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented,
so some rounding is done. With a divider of 2, the lowest representable
value is around 1900 RPM.
Voltage sensors (also known as VIN sensors) report their values in volts.
An alarm is triggered if the voltage has crossed a programmable minimum
or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this case always means 'closest to
zero'; this is important for negative voltage measurements. The VDD input
measures voltages between 0.000 and 5.865 volt, with a resolution of 0.023
volt. The other inputs measure voltages between 0.000 and 4.845 volt, with
a resolution of 0.019 volt. Note that revision 0x00 chips do not support
reading the current voltage of any input except for VIN3; limit setting
and alarms work fine, though. Yes, this is weird. There is experimental
code to compute them by interpolation; see the 'readall' module parameter.
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.
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
is read at least once (except for temperature alarms). This means that the
cause for the alarm may already have disappeared! Note that in the current
implementation, all hardware registers are read whenever any data is read
(unless it is less than 1.5 seconds since the last update). This means that
you can easily miss once-only alarms.
The GL518SM only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
Not supported is the option to use only one fan, and to enable/disable the
speed of that fan automatically as function of the current temperature.
