[lm-sensors] Nuvoton W83667HG-B support request

[Ethan Lawrence]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 646 bytes --]

Hello,
It seems my new motherbord has 'Nuvoton W83667HG-B Super IO Sensors' 
chip which is not supported yet.
Device wiki says that there is a driver (w83627ehf) for W83667HG chip and support for W83667HG-B will probably be added to it.

Could you please add support for the new chip?

Previous support requests for this chip:

Thanks!

I don't have a datasheet, but from looking into the "Open Hardware Monitor" source
it seems that W83667HG and W83667HG-B are identical from a programming perspective.
Only difference is the chip ID, which should be 0xb350 instead of 0xa510.

So you should be able to use the existing driver by setting the force_id module parameter
to 0xa510. If that works, and there are no objections, I can create a patch to auto-detect
the chip.

Hi Guenter,

Please don't top-post.

I have a datasheet, which unfortunately I can't share. I never had the
time to read it, but as far as I know, the monitoring part is
compatible with the -A variant, while the automatic fan speed control
isn't. So a safe approach would be to only enable monitoring and
disabling the fan speed control interface.

No need to copy and paste the wiki, we can read it directly ;)

I've added your request to the wiki.

The folks at Nuvoton are actually quite nice and sent me a copy.
I browsed through it, specifically the fan control section, but I don't see
what might be different to the current implementation. Of course it would help
to have a copy of the W83667HG datasheet to be able to compare .. I'll see
if I can get that one as well.

I can send you an old version of that one, it used to be publicly
available on Nuvoton's web site.
