46Module Parameters
47-----------------
48
49* disable_features (bit vector)
50Disable selected features normally supported by the device. This makes it
51possible to work around possible driver or hardware bugs if the feature in
52question doesn't work as intended for whatever reason. Bit values:
53 0x01  disable SMBus PEC
54 0x02  disable the block buffer
55 0x08  disable the I2C block read functionality
56 0x10  don't use interrupts

59Description
60-----------
61
62The ICH (properly known as the 82801AA), ICH0 (82801AB), ICH2 (82801BA),
63ICH3 (82801CA/CAM) and later devices (PCH) are Intel chips that are a part of
64Intel's '810' chipset for Celeron-based PCs, '810E' chipset for
65Pentium-based PCs, '815E' chipset, and others.
66
67The ICH chips contain at least SEVEN separate PCI functions in TWO logical
68PCI devices. An output of lspci will show something similar to the
69following:
70
71  00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01)
72  00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01)
73  00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01)
74  00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01)
75  00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01)
76
77The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f. Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial
78Controller.
79
80The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip, at least in the
81SMBus controller.

84Process Call Support
85--------------------
86
87Not supported.
88
89
90I2C Block Read Support
91----------------------
92
93I2C block read is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips.
94
95
96SMBus 2.0 Support
97-----------------
98
99The 82801DB (ICH4) and later chips support several SMBus 2.0 features.
100
101
102Interrupt Support
103-----------------
104
105PCI interrupt support is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips.

108Hidden ICH SMBus
109----------------
110
111If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the
112SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the
113BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is
114well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other
115boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well.
116
117The first thing to try is the "i2c_ec" ACPI driver. It could be that the
118SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the
119i2c_ec driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and
120don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c_ec doesn't work, you
121better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading
122the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /proc/acpi/fan and
123/proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you find anything there, it's likely that
124the ACPI is accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only
125once you are certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt
126to unhide it.
127
128In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
129register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
130drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see
131function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing,
132and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a
133hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list.
134
135The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the
136host bridge PCI device. Get yours with "lspci -n -v -s 00:00.0":
137
13800:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02)
139        Subsystem: 1043:80f2
140        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
141        Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
142        Capabilities: [e4] #09 [2106]
143        Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 3.0
144
145Here the host bridge ID is 2570 (82865G/PE/P), the subvendor ID is 1043
146(Asus) and the subdevice ID is 80f2 (P4P800-X). You can find the symbolic
147names for the bridge ID and the subvendor ID in include/linux/pci_ids.h,
148and then add a case for your subdevice ID at the right place in
149drivers/pci/quirks.c. Then please give it very good testing, to make sure
150that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI.
151
152If it works, proves useful (i.e. there are usable chips on the SMBus)
153and seems safe, please submit a patch for inclusion into the kernel.
154
155Note: There's a useful script in lm_sensors 2.10.2 and later, named
156unhide_ICH_SMBus (in prog/hotplug), which uses the fakephp driver to
157temporarily unhide the SMBus without having to patch and recompile your
158kernel. It's very convenient if you just want to check if there's
159anything interesting on your hidden ICH SMBus.
