Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Kernel driver g760a
===================
Supported chips:
* Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc. G760A
Prefix: 'g760a'
Datasheet: Publicly available at the GMT website
http://www.gmt.com.tw/product/datasheet/EDS-760A.pdf
Author: Herbert Valerio Riedel <hvr@gnu.org>
Description
-----------
The GMT G760A Fan Speed PWM Controller is connected directly to a fan
and performs closed-loop control of the fan speed.
The fan speed is programmed by setting the period via 'pwm1' of two
consecutive speed pulses. The period is defined in terms of clock
cycle counts of an assumed 32kHz clock source.
Setting a period of 0 stops the fan; setting the period to 255 sets
fan to maximum speed.
The measured fan rotation speed returned via 'fan1_input' is derived
from the measured speed pulse period by assuming again a 32kHz clock
source and a 2 pulse-per-revolution fan.
The 'alarms' file provides access to the two alarm bits provided by
the G760A chip's status register: Bit 0 is set when the actual fan
speed differs more than 20% with respect to the programmed fan speed;
bit 1 is set when fan speed is below 1920 RPM.
The g760a driver will not update its values more frequently than every
other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return
'old' values.
