+ * Hardware monitoring driver for LattePanda Sigma EC.
+ *
+ * The LattePanda Sigma is an x86 SBC made by DFRobot with an ITE IT8613E
+ * Embedded Controller that manages a CPU fan and thermal sensors.
+ *
+ * The BIOS declares the ACPI Embedded Controller (PNP0C09) with _STA
+ * returning 0 and provides only stub ECRD/ECWT methods that return Zero
+ * for all registers. Since the kernel's ACPI EC subsystem never initializes,
+ * ec_read() is not available and direct port I/O to the standard ACPI EC
+ * ports (0x62/0x66) is used instead.
+ *
+ * Because ACPI never initializes the EC, there is no concurrent firmware
+ * access to these ports, and no ACPI Global Lock or namespace mutex is
+ * required. The hwmon with_info API serializes all sysfs callbacks,
+ * so no additional driver-level locking is needed.
+ *
+ * The EC register map was discovered by dumping all 256 registers,
+ * identifying those that change in real-time, and validating by physically
+ * stopping the fan and observing the RPM register drop to zero. The map
+ * has been verified on BIOS version 5.27; other versions may differ.
