[lm-sensors] W83627DHG, steps to use

Hi Andrew,

Does this mean that SYSTIN also doesn't change? If so, only one of the
cores has been wired to the w83627dhg.

The script is incorrect. The reason the driver returns an error for
'echo 0' is because the value 0 is invalid for this chip. The script
should handle the error correctly and not display an error.

Setting pwmX_enable to 0 is supposed to disable the pwm output for
that fan, resulting in the maximum fan speed. The w83627ehf and
w83627dhg do not have a way to disable the pwm output. Just write 255
to pwmX.

The reason for including specific people in To: is so we know that you
wanted us to read your message. We sometimes don't respond if you just
post to the list, even though we are subscribed to the list.
