* hwmon: Let the user override the detected Super-I/O device IDJean Delvare2008-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While it is possible to force SMBus-based hardware monitoring chip drivers to drive a not officially supported device, we do not have this possibility for Super-I/O-based drivers. That's unfortunate because sometimes newer chips are fully compatible and just forcing the driver to load would work. Instead of that we have to tell the users to recompile the kernel driver, which isn't an easy task for everyone. So, I propose that we add a module parameter to all Super-I/O based hardware monitoring drivers, letting advanced users force the driver to load on their machine. The user has to provide the device ID of a supposedly compatible device. This requires looking at the source code or a datasheet, so I am confident that users can't randomly force a driver without knowing what they are doing. Thus this should be relatively safe. As you can see from the code, the implementation is pretty simple and unintrusive.

* hwmon: Request the I/O regions in platform driversJean Delvare2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My understanding of the resource management in the Linux 2.6 device driver model is that the devices should declare their resources, and then when a driver attaches to a device, it should request the resources it will be using, so as to mark them busy. This is how the PCI and PNP subsystems work, you can clearly see the two levels of resources (declaration and request) in /proc/ioports for these devices. So I believe that our platform hardware monitoring drivers should follow the same logic. At the moment, we only declare the resources but we do not request them. This patch adds the I/O region request and release calls. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Juerg Haefliger <juergh@gmail.com>
* hwmon/vt1211: Add probing of alternate config index portJuerg Haefliger2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | The configuration index port of the vt1211 can be accessed at two different addresses 0x2e or 0x4e, depending on pin strappings. This patch adds support to scan both addresses during module initialization. Signed-off-by: Juerg Haefliger <juergh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
* hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211Juerg Haefliger2006-09-28
hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211 This is a new driver for the VIA VT1211 Super-IO chip. It is a rewrite of the existing vt1211 driver (by Mark D. Studebaker and Lars Ekman) which has been around for a while but never made it into the main kernel tree. It is implemented as a platform driver and therefore requires lm_sensors 2.10.1 to function properly.
