43Module Parameters
44-----------------
45
46* disable_features (bit vector)
47Disable selected features normally supported by the device. This makes it
48possible to work around possible driver or hardware bugs if the feature in
49question doesn't work as intended for whatever reason. Bit values:
50 0x01  disable SMBus PEC
51 0x02  disable the block buffer
52 0x08  disable the I2C block read functionality
53 0x10  don't use interrupts

56Description
57-----------
58
59The ICH (properly known as the 82801AA), ICH0 (82801AB), ICH2 (82801BA),
60ICH3 (82801CA/CAM) and later devices (PCH) are Intel chips that are a part of
61Intel's '810' chipset for Celeron-based PCs, '810E' chipset for
62Pentium-based PCs, '815E' chipset, and others.
63
64The ICH chips contain at least SEVEN separate PCI functions in TWO logical
65PCI devices. An output of lspci will show something similar to the
66following:
67
68  00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01)
69  00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01)
70  00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01)
71  00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01)
72  00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01)
73
74The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f. Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial
75Controller.
76
77The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip, at least in the
78SMBus controller.

81Process Call Support
82--------------------
83
84Not supported.
85
86
87I2C Block Read Support
88----------------------
89
90I2C block read is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips.
91
92
93SMBus 2.0 Support
94-----------------
95
96The 82801DB (ICH4) and later chips support several SMBus 2.0 features.
97
98
99Interrupt Support
100-----------------
101
102PCI interrupt support is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips.

105Hidden ICH SMBus
106----------------
107
108If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the
109SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the
110BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is
111well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other
112boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well.
113
114The first thing to try is the "i2c_ec" ACPI driver. It could be that the
115SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the
116i2c_ec driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and
117don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c_ec doesn't work, you
118better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading
119the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /proc/acpi/fan and
120/proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you find anything there, it's likely that
121the ACPI is accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only
122once you are certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt
123to unhide it.
124
125In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
126register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
127drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see
128function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing,
129and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a
130hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list.
131
132The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the
133host bridge PCI device. Get yours with "lspci -n -v -s 00:00.0":
134
13500:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02)
136        Subsystem: 1043:80f2
137        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
138        Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
139        Capabilities: [e4] #09 [2106]
140        Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 3.0
141
142Here the host bridge ID is 2570 (82865G/PE/P), the subvendor ID is 1043
143(Asus) and the subdevice ID is 80f2 (P4P800-X). You can find the symbolic
144names for the bridge ID and the subvendor ID in include/linux/pci_ids.h,
145and then add a case for your subdevice ID at the right place in
146drivers/pci/quirks.c. Then please give it very good testing, to make sure
147that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI.
148
149If it works, proves useful (i.e. there are usable chips on the SMBus)
150and seems safe, please submit a patch for inclusion into the kernel.
151
152Note: There's a useful script in lm_sensors 2.10.2 and later, named
153unhide_ICH_SMBus (in prog/hotplug), which uses the fakephp driver to
154temporarily unhide the SMBus without having to patch and recompile your
155kernel. It's very convenient if you just want to check if there's
156anything interesting on your hidden ICH SMBus.
