i2c: Move misc devices documentation

2009-10-04T20:53:40Z

Some times ago the eeprom and max6875 drivers moved to drivers/misc/eeprom, but their documentation did not follow. It's finally time to get rid of Documentation/i2c/chips. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Ben Gardner Acked-by: Wolfram Sang

i2c/chips: Remove deprecated pcf8574 driver

2009-09-18T20:45:49Z

The pcf8574 driver in drivers/i2c/chips which just exports its register to sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pcf857x.c which properly uses the gpiolib. As this driver has been deprecated for more than a year, finally remove it. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Cc: Aurelien Jarno Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c/chips: Remove deprecated pca9539 driver

2009-09-18T20:45:48Z

The pca9539 driver in drivers/i2c/chips which just exports its registers to sysfs is superseded by drivers/gpio/pca953x.c which properly uses the gpiolib. As this driver has been deprecated for more than a year, finally remove it. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang Acked-by: Ben Gardner Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

Move the pcf8591 driver to hwmon

2009-03-30T19:46:43Z

Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the hwmon one, so it fits somewhat. If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver could be moved there. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Aurelien Jarno

i2c: Convert the max6875 driver to a new-style i2c driver

2008-07-16T17:30:07Z

The new-style max6875 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. I'm curious if anyone really needs this though, so it might be removed in the feature. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare

i2c: Convert the pca9539 driver to a new-style i2c driver

2008-07-16T17:30:07Z

The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these devices can't be detected anyway. Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated in favor of gpio/pca953x. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare
