Merge tag 'hwmon-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging
Pull hwmon updates from Guenter Roeck:
- new driver for Sensirion SHTC1 humidity / temperature sensor
- convert ltc4151 and vexpress drivers to use devm functions
- drop generic chip detection from lm85 driver
- avoid forward declarations in atxp1 driver
- fix sign extensions in ina2xx driver
* tag 'hwmon-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging:
hwmon: vexpress: Use devm helper for hwmon device registration
hwmon: (atxp1) Avoid forward declaration
hwmon: add support for Sensirion SHTC1 sensor
hwmon: (ltc4151) Convert to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_groups
hwmon: (lm85) Drop generic detection
hwmon: (ina2xx) Cast to s16 on shunt and current regs

Driver can be used as well for SHTW1 +chip, which has the same electrical interface. + +The device communicates with the I2C protocol. All sensors are set to I2C +address 0x70. See Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for methods to +instantiate the device. + +There are two options configurable by means of shtc1_platform_data: +1. blocking (pull the I2C clock line down while performing the measurement) or + non-blocking mode. Blocking mode will guarantee the fastest result but + the I2C bus will be busy during that time. By default, non-blocking mode + is used. Make sure clock-stretching works properly on your device if you + want to use blocking mode. +2. high or low accuracy. High accuracy is used by default and using it is + strongly recommended. + +sysfs-Interface +--------------- + +temp1_input - temperature input +humidity1_input - humidity input |
