The MAX31790 has a tach input enable bit in each fan's configuration register. This is only enabled by the driver if RPM mode is selected, but the driver doesn't provide a way to independently enable tachometer input regardless of the regulator mode. By adding the fanN_enable sysfs files, we can decouple the tach input from the regulator mode. Also update the documentation.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX31790 chip.
|
|
|
|
The MAX31790 controls the speeds of up to six fans using six independent
|
|
PWM outputs. The desired fan speeds (or PWM duty cycles) are written
|
|
through the I2C interface. The outputs drive "4-wire" fans directly,
|
|
or can be used to modulate the fan's power terminals using an external
|
|
pass transistor.
|
|
|
|
Tachometer inputs monitor fan tachometer logic outputs for precise (+/-1%)
|
|
monitoring and control of fan RPM as well as detection of fan failure.
|
|
Six pins are dedicated tachometer inputs. Any of the six PWM outputs can
|
|
also be configured to serve as tachometer inputs.
