ad3273be8e hwmon: (lm78) Prevent misdetection of Winbond chips
The LM78 detection is relatively weak, and sometimes recent Winbond
chips can be misdetected as an LM78. We have had repeated reports of
this happening. We have an explicit check against this for the ISA
access, do the same for I2C access now.

18c73f9042 hwmon: (lm78) Detect alias chips
The LM78 and LM79 can be accessed either on the I2C bus or the ISA
bus. We must not access the same chip through both interfaces. So far
we were relying on the user passing the correct ignore parameter to
skip the registration of the I2C interface as suggested by
sensors-detect, but this is fragile: the user may load the lm78
driver without running sensors-detect, and the i2c bus numbers are
not stable across reboots and hardware changes.

So, better detect alias chips in the driver directly, and skip any
I2C chip which is obviously an alias of the ISA chip. This is done
by comparing the value of 26 selected registers.

47c15532dd hwmon: (lm78) Fix I/O resource conflict with PNP
Only request I/O ports 0x295-0x296 instead of the full I/O address
range. This solves a conflict with PNP resources on a few motherboards.

Also request the I/O ports in two parts (4 low ports, 4 high ports)
during device detection, otherwise the PNP resource make the request
(and thus the detection) fail.

This is the exact same fix that was applied to driver w83781d in
March 2008 to address the same problem:

810ad7b62c hwmon: (ams) Convert to a new-style i2c driver
The legacy i2c binding model is phasing out, so the ams driver needs
to be converted to a new-style i2c driver. Here is a naive approach of
this conversion. Basically it is moving the i2c device creation from
the ams driver to the i2c-powermac driver. This should work, but I
suspect we could come up with something cleaner by declaring the i2c
device as part of the platform setup. This could be done later by
someone more familiar with openfirmware-based platforms than I am
myself.

One nice thing brought by this conversion is that the ams driver
should be loaded automatically on systems where is is needed (at
least when the I2C interface to the chip is used) providing
coldplug-aware user-space environment.

In a near future, i2c_client will be allocated by i2c-core rather than
by the device drivers, so non-i2c drivers will not have one. As a
preparation step, change the driver code to no longer assume that
an i2c_client structure is always available. No functional change.

support of older CPU models which have only 5 VID pins:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11329

We need two entries in the hwmon-vid table, one for 5-bit VID models
(K8 revision <= E) and one for 6-bit VID models (K8 revision >= F).
This fixes bug #11329.

bb15e7f286 ibmaem: don't query the entire sensor repository when reading energy meter
Currently, all sensors are read when the energy meter is queried via
sysfs.  This introduces a considerable amount of delay and variation in
the sysfs reading, which is not desirable when trying to profile energy
use.  Therefore, read only the energy meters when a sysfs query comes in
for them, and don't cache the results so that we always get the latest
reading.

9c5413eac5 ibmaem: prevent infinite probing loop on x3650 M2 systems
On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing.  On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes.  This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop.  To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.

4ef664b5bc abituguru3: prefer DMI probing to manual probing
Previously the driver was only using DMI to prevent smbus probing on
non-Abit motherboards.  However, since the manual probing method is
brittle and prone to failure on some Abit motherboards (esp.  the Abit
IP35 Pro) it is better to use DMI to also read the board name and then
decide whether or not to probe the bus.

At the moment, we do not have a list of valid DMI name strings to use
for existing and supported motherboards.  This patch only implements DMI
probing for the IP35 Pro.  For motherboards that can not yet use DMI
probing, a warning will be printed to the kernel log asking those users
to email me their dmidecode output.

The existing manual probing mechanism will be used if CONFIG_DMI is not
enabled, if DMI probing fails (for DMI-unsupported motherboards), or if
DMI probing fails and the "force" option is set (for DMI-supported
motherboards).  Ideally in the longer term this manual probing method
would be removed.

This patch should be safe to apply as it does not change the probing
behaviour for most of the supported motherboards, just the IP35 Pro,
which already has regressions filed against it in 2.6.26.
