^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) SMSC SCH5627 Super I/O chips include complete hardware monitoring
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) capabilities. They can monitor up to 5 voltages, 4 fans and 8 temperatures.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 23) The SMSC SCH5627 hardware monitoring part also contains an integrated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) watchdog. In order for this watchdog to function some motherboard specific
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) initialization most be done by the BIOS, so if the watchdog is not enabled
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) by the BIOS the sch5627 driver will not register a watchdog device.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) The hardware monitoring part of the SMSC SCH5627 is accessed by talking
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) through an embedded microcontroller. An application note describing the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) protocol for communicating with the microcontroller is available upon
