hwmon: Driver for ADT7410
This patch brings basic support for the Analog Devices ADT7410 temperature
sensor. The following functionality has been implemented:
* get current temperature
* get/set minimum, maximum and critical temperature
* get/set hysteresis
* get alarm events for minimum, maximum and critical temperature
All implemented sysfs attributes have been sucessfully tested at temperatures
of 15°C to 40°C.

It has a high accuracy of +/-0.5°C and can be operated at a resolution +of 13 bits (0.0625°C) or 16 bits (0.0078°C). The sensor provides an INT pin to +indicate that a minimum or maximum temperature set point has been exceeded, as +well as a critical temperature (CT) pin to indicate that the critical +temperature set point has been exceeded. Both pins can be set up with a common +hysteresis of 0°C - 15°C and a fault queue, ranging from 1 to 4 events. Both +pins can individually set to be active-low or active-high, while the whole +device can either run in comparator mode or interrupt mode. The ADT7410 +supports continous temperature sampling, as well as sampling one temperature +value per second or even justget one sample on demand for power saving. +Besides, it can completely power down its ADC, if power management is +required. + +Configuration Notes +------------------- + +Since the device uses one hysteresis value, which is an offset to minimum, +maximum and critical temperature, it can only be set for temp#_max_hyst. +However, temp#_min_hyst and temp#_crit_hyst show their corresponding +hysteresis. +The device is set to 16 bit resolution and comparator mode. + +sysfs-Interface +--------------- + +temp#_input - temperature input +temp#_min - temperature minimum setpoint +temp#_max - temperature maximum setpoint +temp#_crit - critical temperature setpoint +temp#_min_hyst - hysteresis for temperature minimum (read-only) +temp#_max_hyst - hysteresis for temperature maximum (read/write) +temp#_crit_hyst - hysteresis for critical temperature (read-only) +temp#_min_alarm - temperature minimum alarm flag +temp#_max_alarm - temperature maximum alarm flag +temp#_crit_alarm - critical temperature alarm flag |
