Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

If you use the insmod parameter 'force=1', the kernel module will +try to enable it. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! If the BIOS did not set up a +correct address for this module, you could get in big trouble (read: +crashes, data corruption, etc.). Try this only as a last resort (try BIOS +updates first, for example), and backup first! An even more dangerous +option is 'force_addr=<IOPORT>'. This will not only enable the PIIX4 like +'force' foes, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus +parts of the PIIX4 needs a range of 8 of these addresses to function +correctly. If these addresses are already reserved by some other device, +you will get into big trouble! DON'T USE THIS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY SURE +ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING! + +The PIIX4E is just an new version of the PIIX4; it is supported as well. +The PIIX/PIIX3 does not implement an SMBus or I2C bus, so you can't use +this driver on those mainboards. + +The ServerWorks Southbridges, the Intel 440MX, and the Victory766 are +identical to the PIIX4 in I2C/SMBus support. + +A few OSB4 southbridges are known to be misconfigured by the BIOS. In this +case, you have you use the fix_hstcfg module parameter. Do not use it +unless you know you have to, because in some cases it also breaks +configuration on southbridges that don't need it. diff --git a/Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-prosavage b/Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-prosavage new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..70368790251 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-prosavage @@ -0,0 +1,23 @@ +Kernel driver i2c-prosavage + +Supported adapters: + + S3/VIA KM266/VT8375 aka ProSavage8 + S3/VIA KM133/VT8365 aka Savage4 + +Author: Henk Vergonet <henk@god.dyndns.org> + +Description +----------- + +The Savage4 chips contain two I2C interfaces (aka a I2C 'master' or +'host'). + +The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a +serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant +monitor.
