Add Broadcom HT-1000 south bridge's PCI ID to i2c-piix driver. Note that at least on Supermicro H8SSL it uses non-standard SMBHSTCFG = 3 and standard values like 0 or 9 causes hangup.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The PIIX4 (properly known as the 82371AB) is an Intel chip with a lot of
|
|
functionality. Among other things, it implements the PCI bus. One of its
|
|
minor functions is implementing a System Management Bus. This is a true
|
|
SMBus - you can not access it on I2C levels. The good news is that it
|
|
natively understands SMBus commands and you do not have to worry about
|
|
timing problems. The bad news is that non-SMBus devices connected to it can
|
|
confuse it mightily. Yes, this is known to happen...
|
|
|
|
Do 'lspci -v' and see whether it contains an entry like this:
|
|
|
|
0000:00:02.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02)
|
|
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 9
|
|
|
|
Bus and device numbers may differ, but the function number must be
|
|
identical (like many PCI devices, the PIIX4 incorporates a number of
|
|
different 'functions', which can be considered as separate devices). If you
|
|
find such an entry, you have a PIIX4 SMBus controller.
|
|
|
|
On some computers (most notably, some Dells), the SMBus is disabled by
|
|
default. If you use the insmod parameter 'force=1', the kernel module will
|
|
try to enable it. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! If the BIOS did not set up a
|
|
correct address for this module, you could get in big trouble (read:
|
|
crashes, data corruption, etc.). Try this only as a last resort (try BIOS
|
|
updates first, for example), and backup first! An even more dangerous
|
|
option is 'force_addr=<IOPORT>'. This will not only enable the PIIX4 like
|
|
'force' foes, but it will also set a new base I/O port address. The SMBus
|
|
parts of the PIIX4 needs a range of 8 of these addresses to function
|
|
correctly. If these addresses are already reserved by some other device,
|
|
you will get into big trouble! DON'T USE THIS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY SURE
|
|
ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
|
|
|
|
The PIIX4E is just an new version of the PIIX4; it is supported as well.
|
|
The PIIX/PIIX3 does not implement an SMBus or I2C bus, so you can't use
|
|
this driver on those mainboards.
|
|
|
|
The ServerWorks Southbridges, the Intel 440MX, and the Victory766 are
|
|
identical to the PIIX4 in I2C/SMBus support.
|
|
|
|
A few OSB4 southbridges are known to be misconfigured by the BIOS. In this
|
|
case, you have you use the fix_hstcfg module parameter. Do not use it
|
|
unless you know you have to, because in some cases it also breaks
|
|
configuration on southbridges that don't need it.
