| Description | |
| ----------- | |
| This is the driver for the SMB Host controller on Acer Labs Inc. (ALI) | |
| M1535 South Bridge. | |
| The M1535 is a South bridge for portable systems. It is very similar to the | |
| M15x3 South bridges also produced by Acer Labs Inc. Some of the registers | |
| within the part have moved and some have been redefined slightly. | |
| Additionally, the sequencing of the SMBus transactions has been modified to | |
| be more consistent with the sequencing recommended by the manufacturer and | |
| observed through testing. These changes are reflected in this driver and | |
| can be identified by comparing this driver to the i2c-ali15x3 driver. For | |
| an overview of these chips see http://www.acerlabs.com | |
| The SMB controller is part of the M7101 device, which is an ACPI-compliant | |
| Power Management Unit (PMU). | |
| The whole M7101 device has to be enabled for the SMB to work. You can't | |
| just enable the SMB alone. The SMB and the ACPI have separate I/O spaces. | |
| We make sure that the SMB is enabled. We leave the ACPI alone. | |
| Features | |
| -------- | |
| This driver controls the SMB Host only. This driver does not use | |
| interrupts. |
