2007-05-08hwmon: Request the I/O regions in platform driversJean Delvare
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>
2007-02-14hwmon/vt1211: Add probing of alternate config index portJuerg Haefliger
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>
2006-09-28hwmon: New driver for the VIA VT1211Juerg Haefliger
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.
