Kernel driver i2c-sis96x
Replaces 2.4.x i2c-sis645
Supported adapters:
* Silicon Integrated Systems Corp (SiS)
Any combination of these host bridges:
645, 645DX (aka 646), 648, 650, 651, 655, 735, 745, 746
and these south bridges:
961, 962, 963(L)
Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
Description
-----------
This SMBus only driver is known to work on motherboards with the above
named chipset combinations. The driver was developed without benefit of a
proper datasheet from SiS. The SMBus registers are assumed compatible with
those of the SiS630, although they are located in a completely different
place. Thanks to Alexander Malysh <amalysh@web.de> for providing the
SiS630 datasheet (and driver).
The command "lspci" as root should produce something like these lines:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016
or perhaps this...
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0961
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016
(kernel versions later than 2.4.18 may fill in the "Unknown"s)
If you cant see it please look on quirk_sis_96x_smbus
(drivers/pci/quirks.c) (also if southbridge detection fails)
I suspect that this driver could be made to work for the following SiS
chipsets as well: 635, and 635T. If anyone owns a board with those chips
AND is willing to risk crashing & burning an otherwise well-behaved kernel
in the name of progress... please contact me at <mhoffman@lightlink.com> or
via the project's mailing list: <i2c@lm-sensors.org>. Please send bug
reports and/or success stories as well.
TO DOs
------
* The driver does not support SMBus block reads/writes; I may add them if a
scenario is found where they're needed.
Thank You
