+Kernel driver pwm-fan
+=====================
+
+This driver enables the use of a PWM module to drive a fan. It uses the
+generic PWM interface thus it is hardware independent. It can be used on
+many SoCs, as long as the SoC supplies a PWM line driver that exposes
+the generic PWM API.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The driver implements a simple interface for driving a fan connected to
+a PWM output. It uses the generic PWM interface, thus it can be used with
+a range of SoCs. The driver exposes the fan to the user space through
+the hwmon's sysfs interface.
