[lm-sensors] LM-Sensor support for W83667HG-A (or B)

[Norbert Jurkeit <norbert.jurkeit@web.de>]

Dear all,

recently I got a new PC with an ASRock P55DE3 mainboard. The first run
of sensors-detect contained in openSUSE 11.2 reported an unknown chip
with ID 0xb353. The newest version of sensors-detect told me that
"Nuvoton W83667HG-B Super IO Sensors" at address 0x290 was found,
although the chip on the mainboard is actually labelled W83667HG-A.

Unfortunatately, sensors-detect also described this chip as unsupported
and no available kernel module could be loaded instantly. Then I found
out that driver w83627ehf now also supports the W83667HG (without A or
B) and gave it a try with "modprobe w83627ehf force_id=0xa510". Together
with the included configuration file I now get reasonable readings:

$ sensors

3VSB:        +3.36 V  (min =  +3.14 V, max =  +3.47 V)
VBat:        +3.18 V  (min =  +2.40 V, max =  +3.60 V)
CPU Fan:    1132 RPM  (min = 1102 RPM, div = 8)
Sys Temp:    +33.0°C  (high = +50.0°C, hyst = +47.0°C)  sensor = thermistor
CPU Temp:    +34.5°C  (high = +60.0°C, hyst = +57.0°C)  sensor = thermistor
cpu0_vid:   +0.075 V

$ cat /etc/sensors3.conf

    set fan2_min 1100
    set temp1_max 50
    set temp1_max_hyst 47
    set temp2_max 60
    set temp2_max_hyst 57

    ignore in4
    ignore fan1
    ignore fan3
    ignore temp3

Why do I tell you this? First, I hope this information helps other
users. Second, if no reasons speak against it, official support for
device ID 0xb353 could be included into future versions of w83627ehf.
Third, I want to make sure that you experts don't have any evidence that
the described workaround is dangerous.

BTW: Today I requested a data sheet for the W83667-B from Nuvoton. Let's
see whether they will grant the request.

Kind regards
Norbert
