2006-09-28w83791d: Documentation updateCharles Spirakis
w83791d: Documentation update The alarm bits and the beep enable bits are in different positions in the hardware. Document the problem and leave it to the user-space code to handle the situation. When this driver is updated to the standardized sysfs alarm/beep methodology, this won't be a problem. This is a documentation only change.

2006-09-28it87: Copyright updateJean Delvare
it87: Copyright update I think my contributions to the it87 driver over the past two years qualify me as a co-author of this driver. Also drop old comments of dubious usefulness. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-28it87: Add support for the IT8718FJean Delvare
it87: Add support for the IT8718F The IT8718F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring functions. It is very similar to the IT8716F, so adding support to the it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant difference is that the IT8718F has up to 8 VID pins, instead of 6 for the older chips. For the IT8718F, the VID value can only be read from Super-I/O space. Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released as 2.10.1.) Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-09-28it87: Add support for the IT8716FJean Delvare
it87: Add support for the IT8716F The IT8716F is a Super-I/O chip with integrated hardware monitoring functions. It is very similar to the IT8712F, so adding support to the it87 driver was pretty straightforward. The most significant change here is that the IT8716F has 16-bit fan speed counters, so the user no more needs to tweak the fan clock dividers to get the best readings. Userspace support is already in lm_sensors SVN (to be soon released as 2.10.1.) Thanks to Stian Oksavik, Olivier Nicolas, Prakash Punnoor and Juergen Kilb for testing the early versions of this patch. Thanks also to ITE for providing datasheets and answering my questions.

Documentation update for the new bank1_types module param.

2006-06-22[PATCH] lm70: New hardware monitoring driverKaiwan N Billimoria
This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70 temperature sensor. The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor. It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an SPI/Microwire Bus interface. Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed, the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core SPI support.

2006-06-22[PATCH] HWMON: w83791d: New hardware monitoring driver for the Winbond W83791DCharles Spirakis
Add support for the w83791d sensor chip. The w83791d hardware is somewhere between the w83781d and the w83792d and this driver code is derived from the code that supports those chips.

2006-06-22[PATCH] hwmon: Add sysfs interface for individual alarm filesJean Delvare
Extend the sysfs interface of hardware monitoring chips, by adding individual alarm and beep files. Contrary to the old aggregated "alarms" and "beeps" files, individual files constitute a standard way to access the status information, making it finally possible to implement a chip-independant hardware monitoring chip access library (once all drivers have been added this new interface, that is.) If future drivers need more individual files, the interface will be extended as needed at the same time these drivers are merged into the kernel tree.

2006-03-23[PATCH] w83781d: Don't reset the chip by defaultJean Delvare
Stop resetting the chip on load by default, so as to preserve the BIOS initializations. Same was done in the w83627hf driver some times ago for the same reasons. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-03-23[PATCH] w83781d: Document the alarm and beep bitsJean Delvare
Document the individual alarm and beep bits of the w83781d driver. Ideally we would offer a chip-independant interface for them, but until it's done, it's only fair that we document the current interface.

2006-03-23[PATCH] hwmon: Add support for the Winbond W83687THFJean Delvare

2006-02-06[PATCH] hwmon: Fix reboot on it87 driver loadJean Delvare
Only scan I2C address 0x2d. This is the default address and no IT87xxF chip was ever seen on I2C at a different address. These chips are better accessed through their ISA interface anyway. This fixes bug #5889, although it doesn't address the whole class of problems. We'd need the ability to blacklist arbitrary I2C addresses on systems known to contain I2C devices which behave badly when probed. Plan the I2C interface for removal as well. If nobody complains within a year, it will confirm my impression that the I2C interface isn't actually needed by anyone.

2006-02-06[PATCH] hwmon: New f71805f driverJean Delvare
This is my f71805f hardware monitoring driver ported from lm_sensors to Linux 2.6. This new driver differs from the other hardware monitoring drivers in that it is implemented as a platform driver. This might not be optimal yet (we would probably need a generic infrastructure and bus type for Super-I/O logical devices) but it is certainly much better than the i2c-isa solution. Note that this driver requires lm_sensors CVS. I hope to get it released as 2.10.0 soon. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-02-06[PATCH] hwmon: Add f71805f documentationJean Delvare

2005-10-28[PATCH] hwmon: Add PEC support to the lm90 driverJean Delvare
Add PEC support to the lm90 driver. Only the ADM1032 chip supports it, and in a rather tricky way, which is why this patch comes with documentation reinforcements. At least, this demonstrates that the new PEC support logic in i2c-core can properly deal with chips with partial PEC support. As enabling PEC causes a significant performance drop, it can be disabled through a sysfs file (unsurprisingly named "pec").

2005-10-28[PATCH] hwmon: Drop legacy ISA address support from it87Jean Delvare
Drop legacy ISA address support from the it87 driver. All supported chips are Super-I/O chips, so the device ISA address can be safely read from Super-I/O space rather than blindly assumed. Two nearby inaccurate documentation statements have been fixed as well: * The IT8705F doesn't have an SMBus interface. * The SiS950 doesn't have a distinct prefix.

2005-10-28[PATCH] hwmon: Do not forcibly enable via686a by defaultJean Delvare
Do not enable the VIA VT82C686A/B integrated sensors by default, as disabled sensors usually means that this feature is not used so the values won't make any sense. This has been confusing many users in the past: http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1786 http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=1811 http://www2.lm-sensors.nu/~lm78/readticket.cgi?ticket=2052 It is still possible to forcibly enable the sensors by using the force_addr module parameter.

2005-09-05[PATCH] hwmon: kill client name lm78-jJean Delvare
Drop the separate client name for the LM78-J chip. This is really only a later revision of the LM78, with almost no difference and no difference the driver handles in any case. This was the only client name that had a dash in it, and special care had to be taken in libsensors because of it. As we plan to write a new library soon, I'd like to get rid of this exception before we do. As a nice side effect, it saves 876 bytes in lm78.ko.
