18*4882a593SmuzhiyunDescription
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun-----------
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun
21*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis is the driver for the SMB Host controller on Acer Labs Inc. (ALI)
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunM1535 South Bridge.
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun
24*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe M1535 is a South bridge for portable systems. It is very similar to the
25*4882a593SmuzhiyunM15x3 South bridges also produced by Acer Labs Inc.  Some of the registers
26*4882a593Smuzhiyunwithin the part have moved and some have been redefined slightly.
27*4882a593SmuzhiyunAdditionally, the sequencing of the SMBus transactions has been modified to
28*4882a593Smuzhiyunbe more consistent with the sequencing recommended by the manufacturer and
29*4882a593Smuzhiyunobserved through testing.  These changes are reflected in this driver and
30*4882a593Smuzhiyuncan be identified by comparing this driver to the i2c-ali15x3 driver. For
31*4882a593Smuzhiyunan overview of these chips see http://www.acerlabs.com
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun
33*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe SMB controller is part of the M7101 device, which is an ACPI-compliant
34*4882a593SmuzhiyunPower Management Unit (PMU).
35*4882a593Smuzhiyun
36*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe whole M7101 device has to be enabled for the SMB to work. You can't
37*4882a593Smuzhiyunjust enable the SMB alone. The SMB and the ACPI have separate I/O spaces.
38*4882a593SmuzhiyunWe make sure that the SMB is enabled. We leave the ACPI alone.

42*4882a593Smuzhiyun--------
43*4882a593Smuzhiyun
44*4882a593SmuzhiyunThis driver controls the SMB Host only. This driver does not use
45*4882a593Smuzhiyuninterrupts.
