13     * nVidia nForce3 SMBus PCI interface
14       (10de:00d4, included in nForce3 Pro150 MCP,
15        10de:00e4, included in nForce3 250Gb MCP)
16       Datasheet: same as for nForce2 SMBus PCI interface

30 Description
31 -----------
32
33 i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2,
34 nForce3 and nForce4 MCP.
35
36 If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following,
37
38 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
39         Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
40         Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
41         I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
42         Capabilities: <available only to root>
43
44 then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.

47 Notes
48 -----

50 The SMBus adapter in the nForce2/3/4 chipset seems to be very similar to the
51 SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 southbridge. However, I could only get the
52 driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC interface
53 of the AMD-8111.
54 Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses,
55 both of which are supported by this driver.
