2013-02-06hwmon: (pmbus) Add function to clear sensor cacheGuenter Roeck
For PMBus chips, modifying one limit register may affect other limits. Since limits are all cached in the PMBus core driver, related changes are not reflected in reported limits. Introduce function to clear the attribute cache. After calling this function, the core pmbus driver re-reads all cached values. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
2013-02-06hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for additional voltage sensorGuenter Roeck
Some PMBus chips support monitoring an additional non-standard voltage. While this voltage can in many cases be supported by simulating an additional sensor page, this does not work in all cases. Specifically, it is problematic if the data format is linear and the voltage is reported in LINEAR11 format. Since output voltages use LINEAR16, and the exponent for LINEAR16 data is chip-wide and fixed, this can result in overflows. To solve this problem, add support for an additional virtual input voltage, call it 'vmon', and treat this voltage as input voltage (which, when the chip supports linear data format, uses LINEAR11).

2012-03-18hwmon: (pmbus) Add more virtual registersGuenter Roeck
Add PMBUS_VIRT_READ_TEMP_AVG, PMBUS_VIRT_READ_TEMP2_AVG, PMBUS_VIRT_READ_POUT_AVG, PMBUS_VIRT_READ_POUT_MAX, and PMBUS_VIRT_RESET_POUT_HISTORY. We'll need those for MAX34446. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
2012-03-18hwmon: (pmbus) Simplify remove functionsGuenter Roeck
Since devm_kzalloc() is now used to allocate driver memory, the client driver remove function has no purpose other than to call pmbus_do_remove(). This means we can get rid of it by redefining pmbus_do_remove() to use the same prototype, and pointing to it directly. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>

2011-10-24hwmon: (pmbus) Don't return errors from driver remove functionsGuenter Roeck
Driver remove functions have an error return value, but rarely return an error in practice. If a driver does return an error from its remove function, the driver won't be unloaded and is expected to stay alive. pmbus_do_remove() is defined as returning an int, but always returns 0 (no error). Calling code passes that return value on to high level driver remove functions, but does not evaluate it and removes driver data even if pmbus_do_remove() returned an error (which it in practice never does). Even if this code could never cause a real problem, it is nevertheless conceptually wrong. To reduce confusion and simplify the code, change pmbus_do_remove() to be a void function, and have PMBus client drivers always return zero in their driver remove functions.

2011-07-28hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for peak attributesGuenter Roeck
Most PMBus devices provide manufacturer specific commands to read low and/or high peak values for some or all of its sensors. To support providing those values as lowest/highest attributes to the user, introduce virtual PMBus commands. Those commands reside outside the normal command set and have to be implemented in device specific code, which map the virtual commands to device specific commands.

2011-07-28hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for virtual pagesGuenter Roeck
Some PMBus chips have non-standard sensor registers. An easy way to support such sensors is to introduce virtual pages and map the non-standard registers into standard registers on an extra page. For this to work, the code verifying if the configured number of pages exists has to be removed. Since a wrong number of pages can only be configured in a front-end driver, this should not have a practical impact since the resulting errors should be found during development and testing. Also, functions to read the chip status while checking if a command register exists must be modified to no longer set the page register before reading the status, since the physical page associated with the checked register may not exist. This does not make a functional difference since the page was already set when the attempt to read the register was made.

2011-07-28hwmon: (pmbus) Add support for VID output voltage modeGuenter Roeck
In VID mode, output voltages are measured and reported as VID values, and have to be converted to voltages using VID conversion tables or functions. Support is added for VR11 only at this time. This patch enables support for PMBus devices supporting VID VR11 based output voltage selection such as NCP4200 and NCP4208.
