adt7473 driver is obsoleted by adt7475 driver. And it is scheduled
to be removed in Feb 2010.

-Kernel driver adt7473
-======================
-
-Supported chips:
-  * Analog Devices ADT7473
-    Prefix: 'adt7473'
-    Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2C, 0x2D, 0x2E
-    Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website

-Author: Darrick J. Wong
-
-This driver is depreacted, please use the adt7475 driver instead.
-
-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
-
-The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
-specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
-temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
-measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
-to control fan speed.
-
-A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
-ADT7473 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
-three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
-programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in
-response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
-This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
-
-Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
-corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
-any measured value exceeds either limit.
-
-The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
-the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
-configuration data is only read once per minute.
-
-Special Features
-----------------
-
-The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
-with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
-for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
-from the raw value to get the temperature value.
-
-The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
-determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
-
-Configuration Notes
--------------------
-
-Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
-
-* PWM Control
-
-* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
-* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
-
-point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
-point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
-
-The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
-the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.  PWM values range
-from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).  Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
-temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
-
-Notes
------
-
-The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
-Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
-fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.
