[lm-sensors] SB800 support

[Marcin Nowak]

Hi,

Here: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices you have information that as
for full SB800 support Eddi De Pieri is working on the solution - last
update of this I have found was nearly three years ago :) (
http://marc.info/?l=linux-i2c&m=134626228005697&w=2) so maybe as the
anniversary is coming within three days you can post any update on this -
can you? I am greatly interested in solving this.

Regards,
Marcin

Anyone have any knowledge about the real progress on this? Anyone knows the
real status?

I don't think there has been any progress.

Is there a lot to do? Maybe someone can take the work of Eddi and finish it
- what you say? I am actually a programmer but not C :) so I am a bit lost
:) I could finish it but I would need a lot of guidance.

Marcin.

Marcin,

problem is that enhancing a kernel driver like this isn't really
the best project to learn C programming. I would love to help you
along, but unfortunately my task list already stretches out to
sometime in the next century.

Note that top-posting is discouraged on this mailing list.

Thanks,
Guenter

Marcin, if you are still interested, support for the multiplexed SMBus
ports on the SB800 has just been added to the upcoming kernel v4.5.
Credits to Christian Fetzer for the code and Wolfram Sang, Andy
Shevchenko and Mika Westerberg for the review.

I have put a standalone version of the i2c-piix4 driver at:
http://jdelvare.nerim.net/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/i2c-piix4/
if you want to test it without updating your kernel. Generic build
instructions are available at:
http://jdelvare.nerim.net/devel/lm-sensors/drivers/INSTALL

[Marcin Nowak]

Thank you guys, I am already testing the fix for a while (I had an
opportunity to compile it directly from Christian) - and I can also confirm
that it is stable. I have not tested one specific scenario requested by
Christian because of lack of the time - but I assume that after a code
review it should work smooth in all scenarios.

Marcin.

Great. But please do not assume too much. The code is still fresh and
probably hasn't seen much testing. So more testing is welcome. Even the
best reviews can't catch everything, especially when it comes to
hardware.

Hi Jean,

I am testing the patch for a while now - it is working without any issue.
Are there any plans for a release?

BR,
Marcin.
