+Hardware Interfaces
+-------------------
+
+All the chips suported by this driver are LPC Super-I/O chips, accessed
+through the LPC bus (ISA-like I/O ports). The IT8712F additionally has an
+SMBus interface to the hardware monitoring functions. This driver no
+longer supports this interface though, as it is slower and less reliable
+than the ISA access, and was only available on a small number of
+motherboard models.

+Fan speed control
+-----------------
+
 The fan speed control features are limited to manual PWM mode. Automatic
 "Smart Guardian" mode control handling is not implemented. However
 if you want to go for "manual mode" just write 1 to pwmN_enable.
+
+If you are only able to control the fan speed with very small PWM values,
+try lowering the PWM base frequency (pwm1_freq). Depending on the fan,
+it may give you a somewhat greater control range. The same frequency is
+used to drive all fan outputs, which is why pwm2_freq and pwm3_freq are
+read-only.
