Description
-----------
This SMBus only driver is known to work on motherboards with the above
named chipset combinations. The driver was developed without benefit of a
proper datasheet from SiS. The SMBus registers are assumed compatible with
those of the SiS630, although they are located in a completely different
place. Thanks to Alexander Malysh <amalysh@web.de> for providing the
SiS630 datasheet (and driver).

The command `` lspci `` as root should produce something like these lines::

If you can't see it please look on quirk_sis_96x_smbus
2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
(drivers/pci/quirks.c) (also if southbridge detection fails)
I suspect that this driver could be made to work for the following SiS
chipsets as well: 635, and 635T. If anyone owns a board with those chips
AND is willing to risk crashing & burning an otherwise well-behaved kernel
in the name of progress... please contact me at <mhoffman@lightlink.com> or
2008-10-30 15:55:47 +01:00
via the linux-i2c mailing list: <linux-i2c@vger.kernel.org>. Please send bug
2006-07-01 17:14:32 +02:00
reports and/or success stories as well.
2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
TO DOs
------
* The driver does not support SMBus block reads/writes; I may add them if a
2019-07-26 09:51:16 -03:00
scenario is found where they're needed.
