DESCRIPTION

     The ichlpcib driver supports the Intel ICH LPC Interface Bridges on com-
     patible chipsets. Supported functions include:

     ·   Watchdog timer.  The watchdog timer may be configured for a 2 seconds
         (on ICH6 or newer) and 4 seconds (on ICH5 or older) min period and
         for a 39 seconds (on ICH5 or older) or 613 seconds max period (on
         ICH6 or newer).

     ·   Power Management timer. A 24-bit timer available to be used by the
         timecounters framework.

     ·   SpeedStep.  In some systems the SpeedStep function is also available,
         and can be used to switch between high and low frequency (to reduce
         power consumption) via the machdep.speedstep_state sysctl(8) node. A
         value of 0 will use the low frequency (low power) and a 1 will enable
         the high frequency (full power).
