[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.

+
+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.

+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.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADM1026. Analog
+Devices calls it a "complete thermal system management controller."
+
+The ADM1026 implements three (3) temperature sensors, 17 voltage sensors,
+16 general purpose digital I/O lines, eight (8) fan speed sensors (8-bit),
+an analog output and a PWM output along with limit, alarm and mask bits for
+all of the above. There is even 8k bytes of EEPROM memory on chip.
+
+Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. There are two external
+sensor inputs and one internal sensor. Each sensor has a high and low
+limit. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt (#SMBALERT) can be
+generated. The interrupts can be masked. In addition, there are over-temp
+limits for each sensor. If this limit is exceeded, the #THERM output will
+be asserted. The current temperature and limits have a resolution of 1
+degree.
+
+Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute) but measured
+in counts of a 22.5kHz internal clock. Each fan has a high limit which
+corresponds to a minimum fan speed. If the limit is exceeded, an interrupt
+can be generated. Each fan can be programmed to divide the reference clock
+by 1, 2, 4 or 8. Not all RPM values can accurately be represented, so some
+rounding is done. With a divider of 8, the slowest measurable speed of a
+two pulse per revolution fan is 661 RPM.
+
+There are 17 voltage sensors. An alarm is triggered if the voltage has
+crossed a programmable minimum or maximum limit. Note that minimum in this
+case always means 'closest to zero'; this is important for negative voltage
+measurements. Several inputs have integrated attenuators so they can measure
+higher voltages directly. 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V and battery voltage all have
+dedicated inputs. There are several inputs scaled to 0-3V full-scale range
+for SCSI terminator power. The remaining inputs are not scaled and have
+a 0-2.5V full-scale range. A 2.5V or 1.82V reference voltage is provided
+for negative voltage measurements.
+
+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! Note that in the current implementation, all hardware
+registers are read whenever any data is read (unless it is less than 2.0
+seconds since the last update). This means that you can easily miss
+once-only alarms.
+
+The ADM1026 measures continuously. Analog inputs are measured about 4
+times a second. Fan speed measurement time depends on fan speed and
+divisor. It can take as long as 1.5 seconds to measure all fan speeds.
+
+The ADM1026 has the ability to automatically control fan speed based on the
+temperature sensor inputs. Both the PWM output and the DAC output can be
+used to control fan speed. Usually only one of these two outputs will be
+used. Write the minimum PWM or DAC value to the appropriate control
+register. Then set the low temperature limit in the tmin values for each
+temperature sensor. The range of control is fixed at 20 °C, and the
+largest difference between current and tmin of the temperature sensors sets
+the control output. See the datasheet for several example circuits for
+controlling fan speed with the PWM and DAC outputs. The fan speed sensors
+do not have PWM compensation, so it is probably best to control the fan
+voltage from the power lead rather than on the ground lead.
+
+The datasheet shows an example application with VID signals attached to
+GPIO lines. Unfortunately, the chip may not be connected to the VID lines
+in this way. The driver assumes that the chips *is* connected this way to
+get a VID voltage.

+
+Interface
+---------
+The I2C addresses listed above assume BIOS has not changed the
+chip MSB 5-bit address. Each chip reports a unique manufacturer
+identification code as well as the chip revision/stepping level.
+
+Description
+-----------
+[From ADM9240] The ADM9240 is a complete system hardware monitor for
+microprocessor-based systems, providing measurement and limit comparison
+of up to four power supplies and two processor core voltages, plus
+temperature, two fan speeds and chassis intrusion. Measured values can
+be read out via an I2C-compatible serial System Management Bus, and values
+for limit comparisons can be programmed in over the same serial bus. The
+high speed successive approximation ADC allows frequent sampling of all
+analog channels to ensure a fast interrupt response to any out-of-limit
+measurement.
+
+The ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are register compatible, the following
+details are common to the three chips. Chip differences are described
+after this section.
+
+
+Measurements
+------------
+The measurement cycle
+
+The adm9240 driver will take a measurement reading no faster than once
+each two seconds. User-space may read sysfs interface faster than the
+measurement update rate and will receive cached data from the most
+recent measurement.
+
+ADM9240 has a very fast 320us temperature and voltage measurement cycle
+with independent fan speed measurement cycles counting alternating rising
+edges of the fan tacho inputs.
+
+DS1780 measurement cycle is about once per second including fan speed.
+
+LM81 measurement cycle is about once per 400ms including fan speed.
+The LM81 12-bit extended temperature measurement mode is not supported.
+
+Temperature
+-----------
+On chip temperature is reported as degrees Celsius as 9-bit signed data
+with resolution of 0.5 degrees Celsius. High and low temperature limits
+are 8-bit signed data with resolution of one degree Celsius.
+
+Temperature alarm is asserted once the temperature exceeds the high limit,
+and is cleared when the temperature falls below the temp1_max_hyst value.
+
+Fan Speed
+---------
+Two fan tacho inputs are provided, the ADM9240 gates an internal 22.5kHz
+clock via a divider to an 8-bit counter. Fan speed (rpm) is calculated by:
+
+rpm = (22500 * 60) / (count * divider)
+
+Automatic fan clock divider
+
+  * User sets 0 to fan_min limit
+    - low speed alarm is disabled
+    - fan clock divider not changed
+    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled for valid fan speed reading
+
+  * User sets fan_min limit too low
+    - low speed alarm is enabled
+    - fan clock divider set to max
+    - fan_min set to register value 254 which corresponds
+      to 664 rpm on adm9240
+    - low speed alarm will be asserted if fan speed is
+      less than minimum measurable speed
+    - auto fan clock adjuster disabled
+
+  * User sets reasonable fan speed
+    - low speed alarm is enabled
+    - fan clock divider set to suit fan_min
+    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
+
+  * User sets unreasonably high low fan speed limit
+    - resolution of the low speed limit may be reduced
+    - alarm will be asserted
+    - auto fan clock adjuster enabled: adjusts fan_min
+
+    * fan speed may be displayed as zero until the auto fan clock divider
+      adjuster brings fan speed clock divider back into chip measurement
+      range, this will occur within a few measurement cycles.
+
+Analog Output
+-------------
+An analog output provides a 0 to 1.25 volt signal intended for an external
+fan speed amplifier circuit. The analog output is set to maximum value on
+power up or reset. This doesn't do much on the test Intel SE440BX-2.
+
+Voltage Monitor
+
+Voltage (IN) measurement is internally scaled:
+
+    nr  label       nominal     maximum   resolution
+                      mV          mV         mV
+    0   +2.5V        2500        3320       13.0
+    1   Vccp1        2700        3600       14.1
+    2   +3.3V        3300        4380       17.2
+    3     +5V        5000        6640       26.0
+    4    +12V       12000       15940       62.5
+    5   Vccp2        2700        3600       14.1
+
+The reading is an unsigned 8-bit value, nominal voltage measurement is
+represented by a reading of 192, being 3/4 of the measurement range.
+
+An alarm is asserted for any voltage going below or above the set limits.
+
+The driver reports and accepts voltage limits scaled to the above table.
+
+VID Monitor
+-----------
+The chip has five inputs to read the 5-bit VID and reports the mV value
+based on detected CPU type.
+
+Chassis Intrusion
+-----------------
+An alarm is asserted when the CI pin goes active high. The ADM9240
+Datasheet has an example of an external temperature sensor driving
+this pin. On an Intel SE440BX-2 the Chassis Intrusion header is
+connected to a normally open switch.
+
+The ADM9240 provides an internal open drain on this line, and may output
+a 20 ms active low pulse to reset an external Chassis Intrusion latch.
+
+Clear the CI latch by writing value 1 to the sysfs chassis_clear file.
+
+Alarm flags reported as 16-bit word
+
+    bit     label               comment
+    ---     -------------       --------------------------
+     0      +2.5 V_Error        high or low limit exceeded
+     1      VCCP_Error          high or low limit exceeded
+     2      +3.3 V_Error        high or low limit exceeded
+     3      +5 V_Error          high or low limit exceeded
+     4      Temp_Error          temperature error
+     6      FAN1_Error          fan low limit exceeded
+     7      FAN2_Error          fan low limit exceeded
+     8      +12 V_Error         high or low limit exceeded
+     9      VCCP2_Error         high or low limit exceeded
+    12      Chassis_Error       CI pin went high
+
+Remaining bits are reserved and thus undefined. It is important to note
+that alarm bits may be cleared on read, user-space may latch alarms and
+provide the end-user with a method to clear alarm memory.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach".
+These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to
+supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped
+investigate their hardware, including:
+
+Vitaly V. Bursov
+Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows)
+Bertrik Sikken
+
+The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed
+sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to
+these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and
+3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM
+controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The DS1621 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has
+both high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.
+programmed into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55
+degree Celsius to +125 in 0.5 increments. You may convert this into a
+Fahrenheit range of -67 to +257 degrees with 0.9 steps. If polarity
+parameter is not provided, original value is used.
+
+As for the thermostat, behavior can also be programmed using the polarity
+toggle. On the one hand ("heater"), the thermostat output of the chip,
+Tout, will trigger when the low limit temperature is met or underrun and
+stays high until the high limit is met or exceeded. On the other hand
+("cooler"), vice versa. That way "heater" equals "active low", whereas
+"conditioner" equals "active high". Please note that the DS1621 data sheet
+is somewhat misleading in this point since setting the polarity bit does
+not simply invert Tout.
+
+A second thing is that, during extensive testing, Tout showed a tolerance
+of up to +/- 0.5 degrees even when compared against precise temperature
+readings. Be sure to have a high vs. low temperature limit gap of al least
+1.0 degree Celsius to avoid Tout "bouncing", though!
+
+As for alarms, you can read the alarm status of the DS1621 via the 'alarms'
+/sys file interface. The result consists mainly of bit 6 and 5 of the
+configuration register of the chip; bit 6 (0x40 or 64) is the high alarm
+bit and bit 5 (0x20 or 32) the low one. These bits are set when the high or
+low limits are met or exceeded and are reset by the module as soon as the
+respective temperature ranges are left.
+
+The alarm registers are in no way suitable to find out about the actual
+status of Tout. They will only tell you about its history, whether or not
+any of the limits have ever been met or exceeded since last power-up or
+reset. Be aware: When testing, it showed that the status of Tout can change
+with neither of the alarms set.
+
+Temperature conversion of the DS1621 takes up to 1000ms; internal access to
+non-volatile registers may last for 10ms or below.
+
+High Accuracy Temperature Reading
+---------------------------------
+
+As said before, the temperature issued via the 9-bit i2c-bus data is
+somewhat arbitrary. Internally, the temperature conversion is of a
+different kind that is explained (not so...) well in the DS1621 data sheet.
+To cut the long story short: Inside the DS1621 there are two oscillators,
+both of them biassed by a temperature coefficient.
+
+Higher resolution of the temperature reading can be achieved using the
+internal projection, which means taking account of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE
+(the driver manages them):
+
+Taken from Dallas Semiconductors App Note 068: 'Increasing Temperature
+Resolution on the DS1620' and App Note 105: 'High Resolution Temperature
+Measurement with Dallas Direct-to-Digital Temperature Sensors'
+
+- Read the 9-bit temperature and strip the LSB (Truncate the .5 degs)
+- The resulting value is TEMP_READ.
+- Then, read REG_COUNT.
+- And then, REG_SLOPE.
+
+      TEMP = TEMP_READ - 0.25 + ((REG_SLOPE - REG_COUNT) / REG_SLOPE)
+
+Note that this is what the DONE bit in the DS1621 configuration register is
+good for: Internally, one temperature conversion takes up to 1000ms. Before
+that conversion is complete you will not be able to read valid things out
+of REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE. The DONE bit, as you may have guessed by now,
+tells you whether the conversion is complete ("done", in plain English) and
+thus, whether the values you read are good or not.
+
+The DS1621 has two modes of operation: "Continuous" conversion, which can
+be understood as the default stand-alone mode where the chip gets the
+temperature and controls external devices via its Tout pin or tells other
+i2c's about it if they care. The other mode is called "1SHOT", that means
+that it only figures out about the temperature when it is explicitly told
+to do so; this can be seen as power saving mode.
+
+Now if you want to read REG_COUNT and REG_SLOPE, you have to either stop
+the continuous conversions until the contents of these registers are valid,
+or, in 1SHOT mode, you have to have one conversion made.

+Kernel driver fscher
+====================
+
+Supported chips:
+  * Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip
+    Prefix: 'fscher'
+    Addresses scanned: I2C 0x73
+
+Authors:
+        Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de> based on work
+        from Hermann Jung <hej@odn.de>,
+        Frodo Looijaard <frodol@dds.nl>,
+        Philip Edelbrock <phil@netroedge.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
+described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
+from Fujitsu-Siemens.
+
+The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
+controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
+the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
+
+The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
+auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
+(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
+
+Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
+
+Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
+can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
+the chip.
+
+Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
+
+All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
+for further calculations.
