[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.

Module Parameters
|

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The chips supported by this driver are very similar. The Maxim MAX1617 is
|
||||
the oldest; it has the problem that it is not very well detectable. The
|
||||
MAX1617A solves that. The ADM1021 is a straight clone of the MAX1617A.
|
||||
Ditto for the THMC10. From here on, we will refer to all these chips as
|
||||
ADM1021-clones.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADM1021 and MAX1617A reports a die code, which is a sort of revision
|
||||
code. This can help us pinpoint problems; it is not very useful
|
||||
otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
ADM1021-clones implement two temperature sensors. One of them is internal,
|
||||
and measures the temperature of the chip itself; the other is external and
|
||||
is realised in the form of a transistor-like device. A special alarm
|
||||
indicates whether the remote sensor is connected.
|
||||
|
||||
Each sensor has its own low and high limits. When they are crossed, the
|
||||
corresponding alarm is set and remains on as long as the temperature stays
|
||||
out of range. Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. Measurements
|
||||
are possible between -65 and +127 degrees, with a resolution of one degree.
|
||||
|
||||
If an alarm triggers, it will remain triggered until the hardware register
|
||||
is read at least once. This means that the cause for the alarm may already
|
||||
have disappeared!
|
||||
|
||||
This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
|
||||
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
|
||||
ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
|
||||
for that.
|
||||
|
||||
Xeon support
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Some Xeon processors have real max1617, adm1021, or compatible chips
|
||||
within them, with two temperature sensors.
|
||||
|
||||
Other Xeons have chips with only one sensor.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a Xeon, and the adm1021 module loads, and both temperatures
|
||||
appear valid, then things are good.
|
||||
|
||||
If the adm1021 module doesn't load, you should try this:
|
||||
modprobe adm1021 force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS
|
||||
ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have dual Xeons you may have appear to have two separate
|
||||
adm1021-compatible chips, or two single-temperature sensors, at distinct
|
||||
addresses.
