10Description
11-----------
12
13This is the driver for the SMB Host controller on Acer Labs Inc. (ALI)
14M1563 South Bridge.

18The M1563 southbridge is deceptively similar to the M1533, with a few
19notable exceptions. One of those happens to be the fact they upgraded the
20i2c core to be SMBus 2.0 compliant, and happens to be almost identical to
21the i2c controller found in the Intel 801 south bridges.
