2007-10-10hwmon: update sysfs interface document - error handlingHans de Goede1-0/+58
Here is a patch adding some text to the sysfs interface documentation on how settings written to sysfs attributes should be handled, focussing mainly on error handling. This version incorperates Jean's latest comments. Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
2007-10-10hwmon: Update the sysfs interface documentationJean Delvare1-34/+41
* Document the name attribute. * Document the *_label attributes. * Drop "typical usage" lists, they no longer match the reality. * Drop non hardware-monitoring related entries. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
2007-10-10hwmon: Don't export thermistor betaJean Delvare1-2/+2
Deprecate the use of thermistor beta values as thermal sensor types. No driver supports changing the beta value anyway. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
2007-07-19hwmon: Improve the pwmN_enable documentationJean Delvare1-5/+4
The documentation of the pwmN_enable interface file is not very clear, and has been confusing several driver authors already. Make it clearer. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
2007-07-19hwmon: Fault files naming conventionJean Delvare1-3/+3
We have the following naming convention documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for fault files: in[0-*]_input_fault fan[1-*]_input_fault temp[1-*]_input_fault Some drivers follow this convention (lm63, lm83, lm90, smsc47m192). However some drivers omit the "input" part and create files named fan1_fault (pc87427) or temp1_fault (dme1737). And the new "generic" libsensors follows this second (non-standard) convention, so it fails to report fault conditions for drivers which follow the standard. We want a single naming scheme, and everyone seems to prefer the shorter variant, so let's go for it. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-05-08hwmon: Document the new fan1_target interface fileJean Delvare1-0/+7
Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2007-02-14hwmon/it87: Add PWM base frequency controlJean Delvare1-5/+10
Let the user select the base PWM frequency when using the it87 hardware monitoring driver. Different frequencies can give better control on some fans. Also update the documentation to mention the PWM frequency control files, with misc cleanups to the PWM section. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2006-12-12hwmon/w83793: Add documentation and maintainerRudolf Marek1-1/+3
Documentation for the new w83793 hardware monitoring driver, originally provided by Yuan My from Winbond. Also add myself as the maintainer of this driver. Signed-off-by: Rudolf Marek <r.marek@assembler.cz> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2006-06-22[PATCH] hwmon: Sysfs interface documentation update, 2 of 2, take 2Jean Delvare1-16/+29
Reword and complete certain parts of the hwmon sysfs-interface documentation file. Hopefully this will make things clearer for new driver authors. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-06-22[PATCH] hwmon: Sysfs interface documentation update, 1 of 2Rudolf Marek1-74/+107
This patch cleans up hwmon sysfs documentation file, plus introduces the description of DC/PWM selection for fan speed control. Signed-off-by: Rudolf Marek <r.marek@sh.cvut.cz> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-06-22[PATCH] hwmon: Add sysfs interface for individual alarm filesJean Delvare1-25/+73
Extend the sysfs interface of hardware monitoring chips, by adding individual alarm and beep files. Contrary to the old aggregated "alarms" and "beeps" files, individual files constitute a standard way to access the status information, making it finally possible to implement a chip-independant hardware monitoring chip access library (once all drivers have been added this new interface, that is.) If future drivers need more individual files, the interface will be extended as needed at the same time these drivers are merged into the kernel tree.

2006-06-22[PATCH] smsc47m192: New hwmon driver for SMSC LPC47M192/997Hartmut Rick1-0/+6
New driver (smsc47m192) which supports voltage and temperature measurement features of SMSC LPC47M192 and LPC47M997 chips. Signed-off-by: Hartmut Rick <linux@rick.claranet.de> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-02-06[PATCH] hwmon: New f71805f driverJean Delvare1-1/+17
This is my f71805f hardware monitoring driver ported from lm_sensors to Linux 2.6. This new driver differs from the other hardware monitoring drivers in that it is implemented as a platform driver. This might not be optimal yet (we would probably need a generic infrastructure and bus type for Super-I/O logical devices) but it is certainly much better than the i2c-isa solution. Note that this driver requires lm_sensors CVS. I hope to get it released as 2.10.0 soon. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-29[PATCH] hwmon: Add PEC support to the lm90 driverJean Delvare1-0/+3
Add PEC support to the lm90 driver. Only the ADM1032 chip supports it, and in a rather tricky way, which is why this patch comes with documentation reinforcements. At least, this demonstrates that the new PEC support logic in i2c-core can properly deal with chips with partial PEC support. As enabling PEC causes a significant performance drop, it can be disabled through a sysfs file (unsurprisingly named "pec").

2005-07-12[PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)Jean Delvare1-0/+274
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.
