Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Kernel driver i2c-sis96x
|
||
|
||
Replaces 2.4.x i2c-sis645
|
||
|
||
Supported adapters:
|
||
* Silicon Integrated Systems Corp (SiS)
|
||
Any combination of these host bridges:
|
||
645, 645DX (aka 646), 648, 650, 651, 655, 735, 745, 746
|
||
and these south bridges:
|
||
961, 962, 963(L)

Description
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
This SMBus only driver is known to work on motherboards with the above
|
||
named chipset combinations. The driver was developed without benefit of a
|
||
proper datasheet from SiS. The SMBus registers are assumed compatible with
|
||
those of the SiS630, although they are located in a completely different
|
||
place. Thanks to Alexander Malysh <amalysh@web.de> for providing the
|
||
SiS630 datasheet (and driver).
|
||
|
||
The command "lspci" as root should produce something like these lines:
|
||
|
||
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645
|
||
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 85C503/5513
|
||
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016
|
||
|
||
or perhaps this...
|
||
|
||
00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0645
|
||
00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0961
|
||
00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016
|
||
|
||
(kernel versions later than 2.4.18 may fill in the "Unknown"s)
|
||
|
||
If you cant see it please look on quirk_sis_96x_smbus
|
||
(drivers/pci/quirks.c) (also if southbridge detection fails)
|
||
|
||
I suspect that this driver could be made to work for the following SiS
|
||
chipsets as well: 635, and 635T. If anyone owns a board with those chips
|
||
AND is willing to risk crashing & burning an otherwise well-behaved kernel
|
||
in the name of progress... please contact me at <mhoffman@lightlink.com> or
|
||
via the project's mailing list: <sensors@stimpy.netroedge.com>. Please
|
||
send bug reports and/or success stories as well.
|
||
|
||
|
||
TO DOs
|
||
------
|
||
|
||
* The driver does not support SMBus block reads/writes; I may add them if a
|
||
scenario is found where they're needed.

Thank You
