+Hidden ICH SMBus
+----------------
+
+If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the
+SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the
+BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is
+well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other
+boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well.
+
+The first thing to try is the "i2c_ec" ACPI driver. It could be that the
+SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the
+i2c_ec driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and
+don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c_ec doesn't work, you
+better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading
+the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /proc/acpi/fan and
+/proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you find anything there, it's likely that
+the ACPI is accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only
+once you are certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt
+to unhide it.
+
+In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
+register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
+drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see
+function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing,
+and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a
+hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list.
+
+The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the
+host bridge PCI device. Get yours with "lspci -n -v -s 00:00.0":
+
+00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02)
+ Subsystem: 1043:80f2
+ Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
+ Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
+ Capabilities: [e4] #09 [2106]
+ Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 3.0
+
+Here the host bridge ID is 2570 (82865G/PE/P), the subvendor ID is 1043
+(Asus) and the subdevice ID is 80f2 (P4P800-X). You can find the symbolic
+names for the bridge ID and the subvendor ID in include/linux/pci_ids.h,
+and then add a case for your subdevice ID at the right place in
+drivers/pci/quirks.c. Then please give it very good testing, to make sure
+that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI.
+
+If it works, proves useful (i.e. there are usable chips on the SMBus)
+and seems safe, please submit a patch for inclusion into the kernel.
+
+Note: There's a useful script in lm_sensors 2.10.2 and later, named
+unhide_ICH_SMBus (in prog/hotplug), which uses the fakephp driver to
+temporarily unhide the SMBus without having to patch and recompile your
+kernel. It's very convenient if you just want to check if there's
+anything interesting on your hidden ICH SMBus.

Since device_type isn't enough to match devices to drivers, there also
needs to be a naming convention for the compatible property. Compatible
is an list of device descriptions sorted from specific to generic. For
-the mpc52xx, the required format for each compatible value is
-<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. At the minimum, the list shall contain two
-items; the first specifying the exact chip, and the second specifying

+the mpc5200, the required format for each compatible value is
+<chip>-<device>[-<mode>]. The OS should be able to match a device driver
+to the device based solely on the compatible value. If two drivers
+match on the compatible list; the 'most compatible' driver should be
+selected.
+
+The split between the MPC5200 and the MPC5200B leaves a bit of a
+connundrum. How should the compatible property be set up to provide
+maximum compatability information; but still acurately describe the
+chip? For the MPC5200; the answer is easy. Most of the SoC devices
+originally appeared on the MPC5200. Since they didn't exist anywhere
+else; the 5200 compatible properties will contain only one item;
+"mpc5200-<device>".
+
+The 5200B is almost the same as the 5200, but not quite. It fixes
+silicon bugs and it adds a small number of enhancements. Most of the
+devices either provide exactly the same interface as on the 5200. A few
+devices have extra functions but still have a backwards compatible mode.
+To express this infomation as completely as possible, 5200B device trees
+should have two items in the compatible list;
+"mpc5200b-<device>\0mpc5200-<device>". It is *strongly* recommended
+that 5200B device trees follow this convention (instead of only listing
+the base mpc5200 item).
+
+If another chip appear on the market with one of the mpc5200 SoC
+devices, then the compatible list should include mpc5200-<device>.
+
+ie. ethernet on mpc5200: compatible = "mpc5200-ethernet"
+ ethernet on mpc5200b: compatible = "mpc5200b-ethernet\0mpc5200-ethernet"
Modal devices, like PSCs, also append the configured function to the
end of the compatible field. ie. A PSC in i2s mode would specify
-"mpc52xx-psc-i2s", not "mpc52xx-i2s". This convention is chosen to
+"mpc5200-psc-i2s", not "mpc5200-i2s". This convention is chosen to
avoid naming conflicts with non-psc devices providing the same
-function. For example, "mpc52xx-spi" and "mpc52xx-psc-spi" describe
+function. For example, "mpc5200-spi" and "mpc5200-psc-spi" describe
the mpc5200 simple spi device and a PSC spi mode respectively.
If the soc device is more generic and present on other SOCs, the
compatible property can specify the more generic device type also.

+Important child node properties
+name type description
+---- ---- -----------
+cell-index int When multiple devices are present, is the
+ index of the device in the hardware (ie. There
+ are 6 PSC on the 5200 numbered PSC1 to PSC6)
+ PSC1 has 'cell-index = <0>'
+ PSC4 has 'cell-index = <3>'
+
+5) General Purpose Timer nodes (child of soc5200 node)
+On the mpc5200 and 5200b, GPT0 has a watchdog timer function. If the board
+design supports the internal wdt, then the device node for GPT0 should
+include the empty property 'has-wdt'.
+
+6) PSC nodes (child of soc5200 node)
+PSC nodes can define the optional 'port-number' property to force assignment
+order of serial ports. For example, PSC5 might be physically connected to
+the port labeled 'COM1' and PSC1 wired to 'COM1'. In this case, PSC5 would
+have a "port-number = <0>" property, and PSC1 would have "port-number = <1>".
+
+PSC in i2s mode: The mpc5200 and mpc5200b PSCs are not compatible when in
+i2s mode. An 'mpc5200b-psc-i2s' node cannot include 'mpc5200-psc-i2s' in the
+compatible field.
IV - Extra Notes
================
1. Interrupt mapping
--------------------
-The mpc52xx pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
+The mpc5200 pic driver splits hardware IRQ numbers into two levels. The
split reflects the layout of the PIC hardware itself, which groups
interrupts into one of three groups; CRIT, MAIN or PERP. Also, the
Bestcomm dma engine has it's own set of interrupt sources which are
cascaded off of peripheral interrupt 0, which the driver interprets as a
fourth group, SDMA.
-The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc52xx pic consists
+The interrupts property for device nodes using the mpc5200 pic consists
of three cells; <L1 L2 level>
L1 := [CRIT=0, MAIN=1, PERP=2, SDMA=3]
L2 := interrupt number; directly mapped from the value in the
"ICTL PerStat, MainStat, CritStat Encoded Register"
level := [LEVEL_HIGH=0, EDGE_RISING=1, EDGE_FALLING=2, LEVEL_LOW=3]

+2. Shared registers
+-------------------
+Some SoC devices share registers between them. ie. the i2c devices use
+a single clock control register, and almost all device are affected by
+the port_config register. Devices which need to manipulate shared regs
+should look to the parent SoC node. The soc node is responsible
+for arbitrating all shared register access.
