[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.

56 | Description | ||
57 | ----------- | ||
58 | |||
59 | The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as | ||
60 | well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible | ||
61 | with many other devices such as the LM86, the LM89, the LM99, the ADM1032, | ||
62 | the MAX6657, MAX6658 and the MAX6659 all of which are supported by this driver. | ||
63 | Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the last three | ||
64 | variants. The extra address and features of the MAX6659 are not supported by | ||
65 | this driver. Additionally, the ADT7461 is supported if found in ADM1032 | ||
66 | compatibility mode. | ||
67 | |||
68 | The specificity of this family of chipsets over the ADM1021/LM84 | ||
69 | family is that it features critical limits with hysteresis, and an | ||
70 | increased resolution of the remote temperature measurement. | ||
71 | |||
72 | The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although | ||
73 | very similar. This driver doesn't handle any specific feature for now, | ||
74 | but could if there ever was a need for it. For reference, here comes a | ||
75 | non-exhaustive list of specific features: | ||
76 | |||
77 | LM90: | ||
78 | * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF. | ||
79 | * ALERT is triggered by temperatures over critical limits. | ||
80 | |||
81 | LM86 and LM89: | ||
82 | * Same as LM90 | ||
83 | * Better external channel accuracy | ||
84 | |||
85 | LM99: | ||
86 | * Same as LM89 | ||
87 | * External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down | ||
88 | |||
89 | ADM1032: | ||
90 | * Consecutive alert register at 0x22. | ||
91 | * Conversion averaging. | ||
92 | * Up to 64 conversions/s. | ||
93 | * ALERT is triggered by open remote sensor. | ||
94 | |||
95 | ADT7461 | ||
96 | * Extended temperature range (breaks compatibility) | ||
97 | * Lower resolution for remote temperature | ||
98 | |||
99 | MAX6657 and MAX6658: | ||
100 | * Remote sensor type selection | ||
101 | |||
102 | MAX6659 | ||
103 | * Selectable address | ||
104 | * Second critical temperature limit | ||
105 | * Remote sensor type selection | ||
106 | |||
107 | All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution | ||
108 | is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote | ||
109 | temperature. | ||
110 | |||
111 | Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit. | ||
112 | Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical | ||
113 | values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values | ||
114 | are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked. | ||
115 | Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta | ||
116 | applies to the remote hysteresis. | ||
117 | |||
118 | The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than every | ||
119 | other second; reading them more often will do no harm, but will return | ||
120 | 'old' values. | ||
