After removing the defines and trying to compile I remembered.
I _knew_ there was a reason for not removing them.
Guess it's too late (or early) here to do serious work.
The defines _are_ used, in:
fan_functions(fan_max_output, FAN_MAX_OUTPUT)
fan_functions(fan_step_output, FAN_STEP_OUTPUT)
which expands to W83627EHF_REG_FAN_MAX_OUTPUT and W83627EHF_REG_FAN_STEP_OUTPUT.
Tricky ... and that was also the reason why I retained the original
global variables.
I'll move the pointers into per-device code as you suggested, but I'll
have to think about how to do that w/o having to change a lot of code.
As for the 0xff - that pretty much applies to all chips supported by this driver.
I guess it is supposed to mean "not supported", and as a result the code will
write to a non-existing register. I don't really want to touch that.
The size difference (3 entries vs. 4) doesn't matter, since the chips are both
configured to have only three pwm fan controllers (even though the W83667HG
is supposed to have four per its datasheet). So the 4th element of the arrays
will not be accessed by the code if W83667HG(-B) is detected.
