Add hardware monitoring support for the Flex power interface modules
PIM4006, PIM4328 and PIM4820.
The modules are equipped with dual feed input and has support for
hotswap, holdup and various circuit protection functionality.
[PATCH 1/5]
The modules have no CAPABILITY or WRITE_PROTECT commands. If these
commands are read, the modules return invalid data (0xFF),
so in addition to the NO_CAPABILITY flag we need a NO_WRITE_PROTECT
flag to tell the pmbus_core driver to not access this register.
[PATCH 2/5]
PIM4328 and PIM4820 use the direct mode data format so new functionality
is added to the pmbus_core driver to be able to read and decode
the COEFFICIENTS command.
This is a tentative implementation of core driver support for reading
and decoding direct format coefficients. If the new flag
PMBUS_USE_COEFFICIENTS_CMD is set, the driver will use the
attribute information in the pmbus_sensor_attr structs together
with the COEFFICIENTS command to read and set the relevant
direct mode coefficients.
Please have a look and comment.
[PATCH 3/5]
The two inputs are modelled using virtual phases but there
is a limitation in the pmbus_core that disallows monitoring
of phase functions if there is no corresponding function on
the page level.
In this specific case the PIM4006 module allows
monitoring of current on each input separately,
but there is no corresponding command on the page level.
Is there a specific reason for this limitation?
Otherwise we suggest relaxing this criteria.
[PATCH 4/5]
All modules use manufacturer specific registers (mfr) for
status data and only supports the CML bit in the PMBus
STATUS register. The driver overrides reading the STATUS
register and maps the bits in the mfr registers to the STATUS
register alarm bits.
PATCH 5/5]
Add driver documentation
This patch has been tested with PIM4406, PIM4280 and PIM4328
modules.
v2
-Remove the for_reading parameter from the pmbus_read_coefficients
function.
-Use the correct namespace macro for the pmbus_read_coefficients
function.
-Fix alphabetic ordering of includes
-Remove override of STATUS_WORD since it will never get called by
the core driver.
-Add new patch with tentative implementation of core driver support
for reading direct mode coefficients using the COEFFICIENTS command.
v3
-Rework and simplify the code for initialization of direct mode
coefficients according to comments by Guenter.
-Updated commit message for patch 2/6
v4
-Use tabs for aligning #define.
-Move phase check before switch.
-Return immediately on error.
-Use existing PB_STATUS_ bit masks.
-Add missing error checks.
-Remove unnecessary !=0 check.
-Move pdata allocation ahead of the switch statement.
-Do not export the pmbus_read_coefficients function
-Change nattr type in struct pmbus_class_attr_map to int.
-Remove unnecessary initialization in pmbus_init_coefficients.
-Moved function pmbus_read_coefficients to keep related code together.
-Rewrite init and read coefficients functions to get rid of ugly cast.
-Squashed [PATCH 2/6] & [PATCH 3/6].
-Added Acked-By maintainer.
