[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.

Kernel driver adm1025
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Supported chips:
|
||||
* Analog Devices ADM1025, ADM1025A
|
||||
Prefix: 'adm1025'
|
||||
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c - 0x2e
|
||||
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
|
||||
* Philips NE1619
|
||||
Prefix: 'ne1619'
|
||||
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c - 0x2d
|
||||
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Philips website
|
||||
|
||||
The NE1619 presents some differences with the original ADM1025:
|
||||
* Only two possible addresses (0x2c - 0x2d).
|
||||
* No temperature offset register, but we don't use it anyway.
|
||||
* No INT mode for pin 16. We don't play with it anyway.

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
(This is from Analog Devices.) The ADM1025 is a complete system hardware
|
||||
monitor for microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit
|
||||
comparison of various system parameters. Five voltage measurement inputs
|
||||
are provided, for monitoring +2.5V, +3.3V, +5V and +12V power supplies and
|
||||
the processor core voltage. The ADM1025 can monitor a sixth power-supply
|
||||
voltage by measuring its own VCC. One input (two pins) is dedicated to a
|
||||
remote temperature-sensing diode and an on-chip temperature sensor allows
|
||||
ambient temperature to be monitored.
|
||||
|
||||
One specificity of this chip is that the pin 11 can be hardwired in two
|
||||
different manners. It can act as the +12V power-supply voltage analog
|
||||
input, or as the a fifth digital entry for the VID reading (bit 4). It's
|
||||
kind of strange since both are useful, and the reason for designing the
|
||||
chip that way is obscure at least to me. The bit 5 of the configuration
|
||||
register can be used to define how the chip is hardwired. Please note that
|
||||
it is not a choice you have to make as the user. The choice was already
|
||||
made by your motherboard's maker. If the configuration bit isn't set
|
||||
properly, you'll have a wrong +12V reading or a wrong VID reading. The way
|
||||
the driver handles that is to preserve this bit through the initialization
|
||||
process, assuming that the BIOS set it up properly beforehand. If it turns
|
||||
out not to be true in some cases, we'll provide a module parameter to force
|
||||
modes.
|
||||
|
||||
This driver also supports the ADM1025A, which differs from the ADM1025
|
||||
only in that it has "open-drain VID inputs while the ADM1025 has on-chip
|
||||
100k pull-ups on the VID inputs". It doesn't make any difference for us.
