On various Gigabyte boards, incorrectly entering configuration mode causes the second Super-IO chip generate LPC buss access errors. This was preivously fixed by ensuring that the second chip receives the code to enter configuration mode before the first chip. On discussion with people who have access to the specification documents it was noted that this is wrong, and you should not enter or leave configuration mode for the second chip, as it is enable by the BIOS and should not be changed. In particular, this was found to be the case on the Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master board, where it was reporting a totally wrong chip ID (0x8883) using the previous method. This was corrected by not entering configuration mode, and this has been found to still work with older boards. --- Frank Crawford (4): Rename NOEXIT to BIOSOPEN as more descriptive of requirement Do not enter configuration mode for some chip types Test for chipset before entering configuration mode Remove tests no longer required drivers/hwmon/it87.c | 127 +++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) -- 2.44.0
