Ok.  Let's try this:

pwm1                    {0-255}   Actual PWM/DAC value, single interface to
                                  both registers.
pwm1_auto_pwm_min       {0-255}   Scaled to {0-15}, single interface to both
                                  registers.
pwm1_enable             {0-2}     Fan control:  off, manual, and automatic, 
                                  respectively
pwm1_mode               {0-1}     0 (default) is PWM control of fans, 1 is DAC.
