[PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c support
The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines
including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time
clock, etc...
The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more
than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely
rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland
interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off
the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block
for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.
