Directory drivers/i2c/chips is going away, so drivers there must find
new homes. For the pcf8591 driver, the best choice seems to be the
hwmon subsystem. While the Philips PCF8591 device isn't a typical
hardware monitoring chip, its DAC interface is compatible with the
hwmon one, so it fits somewhat.
If a better subsystem is ever created for ADC/DAC chips, the driver
could be moved there.

The new-style max6875 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. I'm curious if anyone
really needs this though, so it might be removed in the feature.

The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback
to cover the use cases of the legacy driver.
Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get
the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these
devices can't be detected anyway.
Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated
in favor of gpio/pca953x.

Do not initialize the PCF8574 with an arbitrary value. Users will have
to write the initial value to sysfs themselves.

Let the drivers specify how many bytes they want to read with
i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data(). So far, the block count was
hard-coded to I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX (32), which did not make much sense.
Many driver authors complained about this before, and I believe it's
about time to fix it. Right now, authors have to do technically stupid
things, such as individual byte reads or full-fledged I2C messaging,
to work around the problem. We do not want to encourage that.
I even found that some bus drivers (e.g. i2c-amd8111) already
implemented I2C block read the "right" way, that is, they didn't
follow the old, broken standard. The fact that it was never noticed
before just shows how little i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() was used,
which isn't that surprising given how broken its prototype was so far.
There are some obvious compatiblity considerations:
* This changes the i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data() prototype. Users
outside the kernel tree will notice at compilation time, and will
have to update their code.
* User-space has access to i2c_smbus_xfer() directly using i2c-dev, so
the changed expectations would affect tools such as i2cdump. In order
to preserve binary compatibility, we give I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_DATA
a new numeric value, and define I2C_SMBUS_I2C_BLOCK_BROKEN with the
old numeric value. When i2c-dev receives a transaction with the
old value, it can convert it to the new format on the fly.

Part 3: Move the drivers documentation, plus two general documentation
files.
Note that the patch "adds trailing whitespace", because it does move the
files as-is, and some files happen to have trailing whitespace.

This patch removes the support for the W83697HF and W83627THF chips from
the w83781d driver. These chips have no I2C/SMBus interface and are
better supported by the Super-I/O-based w83627hf driver. Documentation
was updated to reflect the support drop.

This is an i2c driver for the Philips PCA9539 (16 bit I/O port).
It uses the new i2c-sysfs interfaces.
The patch includes documentation.
It depends on the patch that renames "i2c-sysfs.h" to "hwmon-sysfs.h"

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
