2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jean Delvare based on commit 98dd22c3e086d76058083432d4d8fb85f04bab90 upstream On the Shuttle SN68PT, FAN_CTL2 is apparently not connected to a fan, but to something else. One user has reported instant system power-off when changing the PWM2 duty cycle, so we disable it. I use the board name string as the trigger in case the same board is ever used in other systems.
