commit ed87d33ddbcd9a1c3b5ae87995da34e6f51a862c upstream. The DT2815 analog output command is 16 bits wide, consisting of the 12-bit sample value in bits 15 to 4, the channel number in bits 3 to 1, and a voltage or current selector in bit 0. Both bytes of the 16-bit command need to be written in turn to a single 8-bit data register. However, the driver currently only writes the low 8-bits. It is broken and appears to have always been broken. Electronic copies of the DT2815 User's Manual seem impossible to find online, but looking at the source code, a best guess for the sequence the driver intended to use to write the analog output command is as follows: 1. Wait for the status register to read 0x00. 2. Write the low byte of the command to the data register. 3. Wait for the status register to read 0x80. 4. Write the high byte of the command to the data register. Step 4 is missing from the driver. Add step 4 to (hopefully) fix the driver. Also add a "FIXME" comment about setting bit 0 of the low byte of the command. Supposedly, it is used to choose between voltage output and current output, but the current driver always sets it to 1.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
