This series adds support for GMT G762/G763. This work is based on a
basic version for 2.6.31 kernel developed Olivier Mouchet for LaCie
NAS. Updates have been performed to run on recent kernels. Support has
been completed and additional features added: ability to configure
various characteristics from .dts file, better initialization, alarms
and error reporting support, gear mode, polarity, fan pulse per
revolution, fan startup voltage control.
I wonder if this could be split into two separate drivers, one for
the pwm subsystem, and one for a hardware-independent fan controller
based on the pwm interfaces.
To be honest, I wouldn't even know how to start in order to do that.
Additionally, it would be worth the effort if other drivers could be
easily refactored using this idea. I'll let hwmon people provide some
feedback and try and comply with their directions (based on the cpu
cycle I can spend on this).

Cheers,
