hwmon: Add LTC4215 driver
Add Linux support for the Linear Technology LTC4215 Hot Swap controller
I2C monitoring interface.
I have tested the driver with my board, and it appears to work fine. With
the power supplies disabled, it reads 11.93V input, 1.93V output, no
current and no power. With the supplies enabled, it reads 11.93V input,
11.98V output, no current, no power. I'm not drawing any current at the
moment, so this is reasonable. The value in the sense register never
reads anything except 0, so I expect to get zero from the current and
power calculations.
I didn't attempt to support changing any of the chip's settings or
enabling the FET. I'm not sure even how to do that and still fit within
the hwmon framework. :)

Description
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
|
|
|
|
from a live backplane.

|
Usage Notes
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
|
2009-10-05 03:53:42 +07:00
|
|
|
of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
|
|
|
|
instantiate the devices explicitly.

The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
|
|
|
|
undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference
|
|
|
|
circuit will be used.
