			Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation files. Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

| Description
 | |
| -----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach".
 | |
| These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to
 | |
| supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped
 | |
| investigate their hardware, including:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Vitaly V. Bursov
 | |
| Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows)
 | |
| Bertrik Sikken
 | |
| 
 | |
| The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed
 | |
| sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to
 | |
| these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and
 | |
| 3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM
 | |
| controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for
 | |
| me).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
 | |
| triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your
 | |
| processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or
 | |
| processor itself. It is a value in volts.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 0x0001 => in0 (?)
 | |
| 0x0002 => in1 (?)
 | |
| 0x0004 => in2
 | |
| 0x0008 => in3
 | |
| 0x0010 => temp1 (1)
 | |
| 0x0020 => temp2
 | |
| 0x0040 => fan1
 | |
| 0x0080 => fan2
 | |
| 0x0100 => in4
 | |
| 0x0200 => in5 (?) (2)
 | |
| 0x0400 => in6 (?) (2)
 | |
| 0x0800 => fan3
 | |
| 0x1000 => chassis switch
 | |
| 0x2000 => temp3
 | |
| 
 | |
| Alarm Notes:
 | |
| 
 | |
| (1) This alarm will only trigger if the hysteresis value is 127C.
 | |
| I.e. it behaves the same as w83781d.
 | |
| 
 | |
| (2) The min and max registers for these values appear to
 | |
| be read-only or otherwise stuck at 0x00.
 | |
| 
 | |
| TODO:
 | |
| * Experiment with fan divisors > 8.
 | |
| * Experiment with temp. sensor types.
 | |
| * Are there really 13 voltage inputs? Probably not...
 | |
| * Cleanups, no doubt...
