[PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)
Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.
Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

3 | |||
4 | Supported chips: | ||
5 | * Analog Devices ADM1025, ADM1025A | ||
6 | Prefix: 'adm1025' | ||

11 | Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c - 0x2d | ||
12 | Datasheet: Publicly available at the Philips website | ||

14 | The NE1619 presents some differences with the original ADM1025: | ||
15 | * Only two possible addresses (0x2c - 0x2d). | ||
16 | * No temperature offset register, but we don't use it anyway. | ||
17 | * No INT mode for pin 16. We don't play with it anyway. | ||

23 | Description | ||
24 | ----------- | ||
25 | |||
26 | (This is from Analog Devices.) The ADM1025 is a complete system hardware | ||
27 | monitor for microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit | ||
28 | comparison of various system parameters. Five voltage measurement inputs | ||
29 | are provided, for monitoring +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V power supplies and | ||
30 | the processor core voltage. The ADM1025 can monitor a sixth power-supply | ||
31 | voltage by measuring its own VCC. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a | ||
32 | remote temperature-sensing diode and an on-chip temperature sensor allows | ||
33 | ambient temperature to be monitored. | ||
34 | |||
35 | One specificity of this chip is that the pin 11 can be hardwired in two | ||
36 | different manners. It can act as the +12V power-supply voltage analog | ||
37 | input, or as the a fifth digital entry for the VID reading (bit 4). It's | ||
38 | kind of strange since both are useful, and the reason for designing the | ||
39 | chip that way is obscure at least to me. The bit 5 of the configuration | ||
40 | register can be used to define how the chip is hardwired. Please note that | ||
41 | it is not a choice you have to make as the user. The choice was already | ||
42 | made by your motherboard's maker. If the configuration bit isn't set | ||
43 | properly, you'll have a wrong +12V reading or a wrong VID reading. The way | ||
44 | the driver handles that is to preserve this bit through the initialization | ||
45 | process, assuming that the BIOS set it up properly beforehand. If it turns | ||
46 | out not to be true in some cases, we'll provide a module parameter to force | ||
47 | modes. | ||
48 | |||
49 | This driver also supports the ADM1025A, which differs from the ADM1025 | ||
50 | only in that it has "open-drain VID inputs while the ADM1025 has on-chip | ||
51 | 100k pull-ups on the VID inputs". It doesn't make any difference for us. | ||
