69Description
70-----------
71
72This driver implements support for ISA accesses *only* for
73the Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF, W83637HF and W83687THF
74Super I/O chips. We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
75
76This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliable
77than i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both a
78Super I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),
79using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complex
80initialization that were required in the w83781d driver
81(lm_sensors releases 2.7.0 and earlier).
82
83If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,
84use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred method
85now that this ISA driver has been developed.
86
87The w83627_HF_ uses pins 110-106 as VID0-VID4. The w83627_THF_ uses the
88same pins as GPIO[0:4]. Technically, the w83627_THF_ does not support a
89VID reading. However the two chips have the identical 128 pin package. So,
90it is possible or even likely for a w83627thf to have the VID signals routed
91to these pins despite their not being labeled for that purpose. Therefore,
92the w83627thf driver interprets these as VID. If the VID on your board
93doesn't work, first see doc/vid. If that still doesn't help, you may just
94ignore the bogus VID reading with no harm done.
95
96For further information on this driver, /proc values, etc.
97see the w83781d driver documentation.
