Add support for exposing all GPIO pins as analog voltages. Though this is not an ideal use of the chip, some hardware engineers may decide that the LTC4245 meets their design requirements when studying the datasheet. The GPIO pins are sampled in round-robin fashion, meaning that a slow reader will see stale data. A userspace application can detect this, because it will get -EAGAIN when reading from a sysfs file which contains stale data. Users can choose to use this feature on a per-chip basis by using either platform data or the OF device tree (where applicable). Signed-off-by: Ira W.

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
|
|
from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
|
|
PCI Express.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage Notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
|
|
of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
|
|
instantiate the devices explicitly.
|
|
|
|
Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
|
|
on I2C bus #1:
|
|
$ modprobe ltc4245
|
|
$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sysfs entries
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
|
|
makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
|
|
|
|
This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
|
|
into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
|
|
rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

Note 1
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog
|
|
voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be
|
|
created. The driver will sample the GPIO pin that is currently connected to the
|
|
ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input.
|
|
|
|
If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages,
|
|
then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too
|
|
slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing
|
|
the sensor reading.
|
|
|
|
The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods:
|
|
1) platform data -- see include/linux/i2c/ltc4245.h
|
|
2) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip
|
|
|
|
The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin.
