hwmon: Driver for ADT7410
This patch brings basic support for the Analog Devices ADT7410 temperature
sensor. The following functionality has been implemented:
* get current temperature
* get/set minimum, maximum and critical temperature
* get/set hysteresis
* get alarm events for minimum, maximum and critical temperature
All implemented sysfs attributes have been sucessfully tested at temperatures
of 15°C to 40°C.

13 | Description | ||
14 | ----------- | ||
15 | |||
16 | The ADT7410 is a temperature sensor with rated temperature range of -55°C to | ||
17 | +150°C. It has a high accuracy of +/-0.5°C and can be operated at a resolution | ||
18 | of 13 bits (0.0625°C) or 16 bits (0.0078°C). The sensor provides an INT pin to | ||
19 | indicate that a minimum or maximum temperature set point has been exceeded, as | ||
20 | well as a critical temperature (CT) pin to indicate that the critical | ||
21 | temperature set point has been exceeded. Both pins can be set up with a common | ||
22 | hysteresis of 0°C - 15°C and a fault queue, ranging from 1 to 4 events. Both | ||
23 | pins can individually set to be active-low or active-high, while the whole | ||
24 | device can either run in comparator mode or interrupt mode. The ADT7410 | ||
25 | supports continous temperature sampling, as well as sampling one temperature | ||
26 | value per second or even justget one sample on demand for power saving. | ||
27 | Besides, it can completely power down its ADC, if power management is | ||
28 | required. | ||

30 | Configuration Notes | ||
31 | ------------------- | ||
32 | |||
33 | Since the device uses one hysteresis value, which is an offset to minimum, | ||
34 | maximum and critical temperature, it can only be set for temp#_max_hyst. | ||
35 | However, temp#_min_hyst and temp#_crit_hyst show their corresponding | ||
36 | hysteresis. | ||
37 | The device is set to 16 bit resolution and comparator mode. | ||
