  31. Module Parameters
  32. -----------------
  33. * disable_features (bit vector)
  34. Disable selected features normally supported by the device. This makes it
  35. possible to work around possible driver or hardware bugs if the feature in
  36. question doesn't work as intended for whatever reason. Bit values:
  37. 1 disable SMBus PEC
  38. 2 disable the block buffer
  39. 8 disable the I2C block read functionality
  40. Description
  41. -----------
  42. The ICH (properly known as the 82801AA), ICH0 (82801AB), ICH2 (82801BA),
  43. ICH3 (82801CA/CAM) and later devices (PCH) are Intel chips that are a part of
  44. Intel's '810' chipset for Celeron-based PCs, '810E' chipset for
  45. Pentium-based PCs, '815E' chipset, and others.
  46. The ICH chips contain at least SEVEN separate PCI functions in TWO logical
  47. PCI devices. An output of lspci will show something similar to the
  48. following:
  49. 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2418 (rev 01)
  50. 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2410 (rev 01)
  51. 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2411 (rev 01)
  52. 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2412 (rev 01)
  53. 00:1f.3 Unknown class [0c05]: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 2413 (rev 01)
  54. The SMBus controller is function 3 in device 1f. Class 0c05 is SMBus Serial
  55. Controller.
  56. The ICH chips are quite similar to Intel's PIIX4 chip, at least in the
  57. SMBus controller.
  58. Process Call Support
  59. --------------------
  60. Not supported.
  61. I2C Block Read Support
  62. ----------------------
  63. I2C block read is supported on the 82801EB (ICH5) and later chips.
  64. SMBus 2.0 Support
  65. -----------------
  66. The 82801DB (ICH4) and later chips support several SMBus 2.0 features.
  67. Hidden ICH SMBus
  68. ----------------
  69. If your system has an Intel ICH south bridge, but you do NOT see the
  70. SMBus device at 00:1f.3 in lspci, and you can't figure out any way in the
  71. BIOS to enable it, it means it has been hidden by the BIOS code. Asus is
  72. well known for first doing this on their P4B motherboard, and many other
  73. boards after that. Some vendor machines are affected as well.
  74. The first thing to try is the "i2c_ec" ACPI driver. It could be that the
  75. SMBus was hidden on purpose because it'll be driven by ACPI. If the
  76. i2c_ec driver works for you, just forget about the i2c-i801 driver and
  77. don't try to unhide the ICH SMBus. Even if i2c_ec doesn't work, you
  78. better make sure that the SMBus isn't used by the ACPI code. Try loading
  79. the "fan" and "thermal" drivers, and check in /proc/acpi/fan and
  80. /proc/acpi/thermal_zone. If you find anything there, it's likely that
  81. the ACPI is accessing the SMBus and it's safer not to unhide it. Only
  82. once you are certain that ACPI isn't using the SMBus, you can attempt
  83. to unhide it.
  84. In order to unhide the SMBus, we need to change the value of a PCI
  85. register before the kernel enumerates the PCI devices. This is done in
  86. drivers/pci/quirks.c, where all affected boards must be listed (see
  87. function asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge.) If the SMBus device is missing,
  88. and you think there's something interesting on the SMBus (e.g. a
  89. hardware monitoring chip), you need to add your board to the list.
  90. The motherboard is identified using the subvendor and subdevice IDs of the
  91. host bridge PCI device. Get yours with "lspci -n -v -s 00:00.0":
  92. 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:2570 (rev 02)
  93. Subsystem: 1043:80f2
  94. Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
  95. Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M]
  96. Capabilities: [e4] #09 [2106]
  97. Capabilities: [a0] AGP version 3.0
  98. Here the host bridge ID is 2570 (82865G/PE/P), the subvendor ID is 1043
  99. (Asus) and the subdevice ID is 80f2 (P4P800-X). You can find the symbolic
  100. names for the bridge ID and the subvendor ID in include/linux/pci_ids.h,
  101. and then add a case for your subdevice ID at the right place in
  102. drivers/pci/quirks.c. Then please give it very good testing, to make sure
  103. that the unhidden SMBus doesn't conflict with e.g. ACPI.
  104. If it works, proves useful (i.e. there are usable chips on the SMBus)
  105. and seems safe, please submit a patch for inclusion into the kernel.
  106. Note: There's a useful script in lm_sensors 2.10.2 and later, named
  107. unhide_ICH_SMBus (in prog/hotplug), which uses the fakephp driver to
  108. temporarily unhide the SMBus without having to patch and recompile your
  109. kernel. It's very convenient if you just want to check if there's
  110. anything interesting on your hidden ICH SMBus.
