adt7462: new hwmon driver

2008-11-13T01:17:17+00:00

New driver to play with.  As Jean mentioned a couple of years ago, this
chip is a beast with odd combinations of 8 fans, 4 temperatures, and 13
voltage sensors.  This driver has been tested on an IntelliStation Z30.

LIS3LV02Dx Accelerometer driver

2008-11-13T01:17:17+00:00

This adds a driver to the accelerometer sensor found in several HP
laptops (under the commercial names of "HP Mobile Data Protection System
3D" and "HP 3D driveguard").  It tries to have more or less the same
interfaces as the hdaps and other accelerometer drivers: in sysfs and as
a joystick.

This driver was first written by Yan Burman.  Eric Piel has updated it
and slimed it up (including the removal of an interface to access to the
free-fall feature of the sensor because it is not reliable enough for
now).  Pavel Machek removed few more features and switched locking from
semaphore to mutex.

Several people have contributed to the database of the axes.

hwmon: (lm90) Add support for the LM99 16 degree offset

2008-10-26T16:04:39+00:00

The LM99 differs from the LM86, LM89 and LM90 in that it reports
remote temperatures (temp2) 16 degrees lower than they really are. So
far we have been cheating and handled this in userspace but it really
should be handled by the driver directly.

hwmon: (w83781d) Additional information about AS99127F PWM

2008-10-17T15:51:18+00:00

This information was provided in lm-sensors ticket #2350:
http://www.lm-sensors.org/ticket/2350

This is IMHO still not enough to be able to safely implement fan
control support for the AS99127F, but this is valuable information so
I am adding it to the documentation.

hwmon: (it87) Fix thermal sensor type values

2008-10-17T15:51:16+00:00

The it87 driver doesn't follow the standard sensor type values as
documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. It uses value 2 for
thermistors instead of value 4. This causes "sensors" to tell the user
that the chip is setup for a transistor while it is actually setup for
a thermistor.

Using value 4 for thermistors solves the problem. For compatibility
reasons, we still accept value 2 but emit a warning message so that
users update their configuration files.
