Thanks for the review! I've prepared a new version of the
patch addressing all your comments, below are some remarks
from me wrt those comments which warrant a reply.

<snip snip>

+#define DRVNAME "sch5627"
+
+#define SIO_SCH5627_EM_LD	0x0C	/* Embedded Microcontroller LD */
+#define SIO_UNLOCK_KEY		0x55	/* Key to enable Super-I/O */
+#define SIO_LOCK_KEY		0xAA	/* Key to diasble Super-I/O */

Typo: disable.


Copy paste from f71882fg.c will fix there as well.

+static const int SCH5627_REG_IN_FACTOR[SCH5627_NO_IN] = {
+	10745, 3660, 9765, 10745, 3660 };
+static const char * const SCH5627_IN_LABELS[SCH5627_NO_IN] = {
+	"VCC", "VTT", "VBAT", "VTR", "V_IN" };

V_IN sounds very much like a generic name for any external voltage
input. I'd suggest not exposing a label in this case, to let user-space
deal with it through a configuration file.

Ok, I've changed the sysfs attr table to no longer have an in4_label,
I've opted to leave V_IN in SCH5627_IN_LABELS for future reference
and also to keep the array sized the same as the other IN related arrays.

Ah, the elegance of EC-based register access! :(


Yep.

+static int sch5627_read_virtual_reg16(struct sch5627_data *data, u16 reg)
+{
+	int lsb, msb;
+
+	/* Read LSB first, this will cause the matching MSB to be latched */
+	lsb = sch5627_read_virtual_reg(data, reg);
+	if (lsb<  0)
+		return lsb;
+
+	msb = sch5627_read_virtual_reg(data, reg + 1);
+	if (msb<  0)
+		return msb;
+
+	return lsb | (msb<<  8);
+}
+
+static int sch5627_read_virtual_reg12(struct sch5627_data *data, u16 msb_reg,
+				      u16 lsn_reg, int high_nibble)
+{
+	int msb, lsn = -1;

Useless initialization, unless I'm blind.

+
+	/* Read MSB first, this will cause the matching LSN to be latched */

I.e. reverse from 16-bit values? How weird :(


Yep, this also means we cannot read the lsn register once for 2 12 bit reads,
I had code for that (which the useless initialization you spotted was a left
over of).

+static int reg_to_rpm(u16 reg)
+{
+	if (reg == 0)
+		reg = 1;

This arbitrary decision is discussable. I presume that reg == 0 means an
error condition, either an internal one or a problem with the fan. This
would rather be reported to user-space as 0 (0 RPM) or a negative error
code (libsensors does handle -EIO gracefully) rather than an impossible
sped of 5400540 RPM.


Agreed, since the app note says 0xFFFF is the fan fault value, we should
really never see 0, so I've changed the code to return -EIO in this case.

+
+	return 5400540 / reg;

What a weird number.

Straight from the app note. I'll mail you the appnote for your datasheet
archive (I've permission to share it).

<snip>

+static int sch5627_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+{
+	struct sch5627_data *data = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
+
+	platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL);

This is racy. You should unregister the device and delete the
attributes first, and only then clear the driver data pointer.


Copy paste from f71882fg.c will fix there as well.

Overall the code is pretty clean, good work!


Thanks.

Hans
