Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmon

2009-03-30T19:46:43Z

Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the hwmon one, so it fits somewhat. If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver could be moved there. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Aurelien Jarno

i2c-piix4: Add support for the Broadcom HT1100 chipset

2009-03-28T20:34:46Z

Add support for the Broadcom HT1100 LD chipset (SMBus function.) Signed-off-by: Flavio Leitner Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c-nforce2: Add support for MCP67, MCP73, MCP78S and MCP79

2009-03-28T20:34:41Z

The MCP78S and MCP79 appear to be compatible with the previous nForce chips as far as the SMBus controller is concerned. The MCP67 and MCP73 were not tested yet but I'd be very surprised if they weren't compatible too. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Oleg Ryjkov Cc: Malcolm Lalkaka Cc: Zbigniew Luszpinski

i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devices

2009-03-28T20:34:40Z

On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver binding model. I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned more loudly against the abuse of this method.

i2c: Update and clean up writing-clients document

2008-10-22T18:21:32Z

* Strip trailing white space. * Remove out-of-date or irrelevant parts. * Insist on the fact that command is deprecated. * Fix spelling mistakes and typos. * Reformat code examples and function prototypes to comply with the kernel coding style. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c: Delete legacy model documentation

2008-10-22T18:21:31Z

The legacy i2c binding model is deprecated and will be removed soon, so we no longer need to document it. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c: Constify i2c_get_clientdata's parameter

2008-10-22T18:21:31Z

i2c_get_clientdata doesn't change the i2c_client it is passed as a parameter, so it can be constified. Same for i2c_get_adapdata. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c: Delete outdated client porting guide

2008-10-22T18:21:30Z

The document describing how to port i2c chip drivers from Linux 2.4 to Linux 2.6 is outdated. As I suspect that most drivers that had to be ported have already been by now, I do not want to spend time updating it. Let's just delete it instead. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c-i801: Add support for Intel Ibex Peak
