2013-05-04hwmon: (lm75) Add support for the Dallas/Maxim DS7505Jean Delvare
Basically it's the same as the original DS75 but much faster. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
2013-05-04hwmon: (lm75) Tune resolution and sample time per chipJean Delvare
Most LM75-compatible chips can either sample much faster or with a much better resolution than the original LM75 chip. So far the lm75 driver did not let the user take benefit of these improvements. Do it now. I decided to almost always configure the chip to use the best resolution possible, which also means the longest sample time. The only chips for which I didn't are the DS75, DS1775 and STDS75, because they are really too slow in 12-bit mode (1.2 to 1.5 second worst case) so I went for 11-bit mode as a more reasonable tradeoff. This choice is dictated by the fact that the hwmon subsystem is meant for system monitoring, it has never been supposed to be ultra-fast, and as a matter of fact we do cache the sampled values in almost all drivers. If anyone isn't pleased with these default settings, they can always introduce a platform data structure or DT support for the lm75. That being said, it seems nobody ever complained that the driver wouldn't refresh the value faster than every 1.5 second, and the change made it faster for all chips even in 12-bit mode, so I don't expect any complaint.

2013-03-18hwmon: (lm75) Fix tcn75 prefixJean Delvare
The TCN75 has its own prefix for a long time now. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Reviewed-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>
2011-10-24hwmon: (lm75) Document why clones are not detectedJean Delvare
Explain why clones of the LM75 are generally not detected by the driver, and why this isn't going to change. Also update the documentation to reflect the list of chip names currently supported by the driver.

2011-10-24hwmon: (lm75) Add support for Analog Devices ADT75Michael Hennerich
Add datasheet reference and device ID for ADT75. The ADT75, like some other LM75 derivatives, needs to be instantiated using methods 1, 2, or 4. For more information see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.

2011-03-21hwmon: (lm75) Add detection of the National Semiconductor LM75ALen Sorensen
Add support for detection of the National Semiconductor LM75A using the ID register value. Signed-off-by: Len Sorensen <lsorense@csclub.uwaterloo.ca> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
2005-07-11[PATCH] I2C: Move hwmon drivers (3/3)Jean Delvare
Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation files. Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.
