i2c: Move misc devices documentation
Some times ago the eeprom and max6875 drivers moved to
drivers/misc/eeprom, but their documentation did not follow. It's
finally time to get rid of Documentation/i2c/chips.

| 45 | Description | ||
| 46 | ----------- | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | This is a simple EEPROM module meant to enable reading the first 256 bytes | ||
| 49 | of an EEPROM (on a SDRAM DIMM for example). However, it will access serial | ||
| 50 | EEPROMs on any I2C adapter. The supported devices are generically called | ||
| 51 | 24Cxx, and are listed above; however the numbering for these | ||
| 52 | industry-standard devices may vary by manufacturer. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | This module was a programming exercise to get used to the new project | ||
| 55 | organization laid out by Frodo, but it should be at least completely | ||
| 56 | effective for decoding the contents of EEPROMs on DIMMs. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | DIMMS will typically contain a 24C01A or 24C02, or the 34C02 variants. | ||
| 59 | The other devices will not be found on a DIMM because they respond to more | ||
| 60 | than one address. | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | DDC Monitors may contain any device. Often a 24C01, which responds to all 8 | ||
| 63 | addresses, is found. | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | Recent Sony Vaio laptops have an EEPROM at 0x57. We couldn't get the | ||
| 66 | specification, so it is guess work and far from being complete. | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | The Microchip 24AA52/24LCS52, ST M34C02, and others support an additional | ||
| 69 | software write protect register at 0x30 - 0x37 (0x20 less than the memory | ||
| 70 | location). The chip responds to "write quick" detection at this address but | ||
| 71 | does not respond to byte reads. If this register is present, the lower 128 | ||
| 72 | bytes of the memory array are not write protected. Any byte data write to | ||
| 73 | this address will write protect the memory array permanently, and the | ||
| 74 | device will no longer respond at the 0x30-37 address. The eeprom driver | ||
| 75 | does not support this register. | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | Lacking functionality: | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | * Full support for larger devices (24C04, 24C08, 24C16). These are not | ||
| 80 | typically found on a PC. These devices will appear as separate devices at | ||
| 81 | multiple addresses. | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | * Support for really large devices (24C32, 24C64, 24C128, 24C256, 24C512). | ||
| 84 | These devices require two-byte address fields and are not supported. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | * Enable Writing. Again, no technical reason why not, but making it easy | ||
| 87 | to change the contents of the EEPROMs (on DIMMs anyway) also makes it easy | ||
| 88 | to disable the DIMMs (potentially preventing the computer from booting) | ||
| 89 | until the values are restored somehow. | ||
| 90 | |||
| 91 | Use: | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | After inserting the module (and any other required SMBus/i2c modules), you | ||
| 94 | should have some EEPROM directories in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/* of names such | ||
| 95 | as "0-0050". Inside each of these is a series of files, the eeprom file | ||
| 96 | contains the binary data from EEPROM. | ||

| 14 | Description | ||
| 15 | ----------- | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | The Maxim MAX6875 is an EEPROM-programmable power-supply sequencer/supervisor. | ||
| 18 | It provides timed outputs that can be used as a watchdog, if properly wired. | ||
| 19 | It also provides 512 bytes of user EEPROM. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | At reset, the MAX6875 reads the configuration EEPROM into its configuration | ||
| 22 | registers. The chip then begins to operate according to the values in the | ||
| 23 | registers. | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | The Maxim MAX6874 is a similar, mostly compatible device, with more intputs | ||
| 26 | and outputs: | ||
| 27 | vin gpi vout | ||
| 28 | MAX6874 6 4 8 | ||
| 29 | MAX6875 4 3 5 | ||

| 37 | eeprom - 512 bytes of user-defined EEPROM space. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | General Remarks | ||
| 41 | --------------- | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | Valid addresses for the MAX6875 are 0x50 and 0x52. | ||
| 44 | Valid addresses for the MAX6874 are 0x50, 0x52, 0x54 and 0x56. | ||
| 45 | The driver does not probe any address, so you must force the address. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Example: | ||
| 48 | $ modprobe max6875 force=0,0x50 | ||
| 49 | |||
| 50 | The MAX6874/MAX6875 ignores address bit 0, so this driver attaches to multiple | ||
| 51 | addresses. For example, for address 0x50, it also reserves 0x51. | ||
| 52 | The even-address instance is called 'max6875', the odd one is 'dummy'. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | Programming the chip using i2c-dev | ||
| 56 | ---------------------------------- | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Use the i2c-dev interface to access and program the chips. | ||
| 59 | Reads and writes are performed differently depending on the address range. | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | The configuration registers are at addresses 0x00 - 0x45. | ||
| 62 | Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to write a register and | ||
| 63 | i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() to read a register. | ||
| 64 | The command is the register number. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | Examples: | ||
| 67 | To write a 1 to register 0x45: | ||
| 68 | i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x45, 1); | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | To read register 0x45: | ||
| 71 | value = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(fd, 0x45); | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | The configuration EEPROM is at addresses 0x8000 - 0x8045. | ||
| 75 | The user EEPROM is at addresses 0x8100 - 0x82ff. | ||
| 76 | |||
| 77 | Use i2c_smbus_write_word_data() to write a byte to EEPROM. | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | The command is the upper byte of the address: 0x80, 0x81, or 0x82. | ||
| 80 | The data word is the lower part of the address or'd with data << 8. | ||
| 81 | cmd = address >> 8; | ||
| 82 | val = (address & 0xff) | (data << 8); | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | Example: | ||
| 85 | To write 0x5a to address 0x8003: | ||
| 86 | i2c_smbus_write_word_data(fd, 0x80, 0x5a03); | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | Reading data from the EEPROM is a little more complicated. | ||
| 90 | Use i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() to set the read address and then | ||
| 91 | i2c_smbus_read_byte() or i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() to read the data. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | Example: | ||
| 94 | To read data starting at offset 0x8100, first set the address: | ||
| 95 | i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(fd, 0x81, 0x00); | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | And then read the data | ||
| 98 | value = i2c_smbus_read_byte(fd); | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | or | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | count = i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(fd, 0x84, 16, buffer); | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | The block read should read 16 bytes. | ||
| 105 | 0x84 is the block read command. | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | See the datasheet for more details. | ||
