Jean Delvare 0ed4b1e3f3 Add support for the new nForce4 MCP51 (also known as nForce 410 or
430) and nForce4 MCP55 to the i2c-nforce2 driver. Some code changes
were required because the base I/O address registers have changed in
these versions. Standard BARs are now being used, while the original
nForce2 chips used non-standard ones. (2.6 backport)

Kernel driver i2c-nforce2
-------------------------
Status: Well tested
Supported adapters:
* nVidia nForce2 SMBus PCI interface
(10de:0064, included in nForce2 MCP,
10de:0084, included in nForce2 Ultra 400 MCP)
Datasheet: not publically available, but seems to be similar to the
AMD-8111 SMBus 2.0 adapter.
* nVidia nForce3 SMBus PCI interface
(10de:00d4, included in nForce3 Pro150 MCP,
10de:00e4, included in nForce3 250Gb MCP)
Datasheet: same as for nForce2 SMBus PCI interface
* nVidia nForce4 SMBus PCI interface
(10de:0052, included in nForce4 MCP)
(10de:0034, included in nForce4 MCP-04)
(10de:0264, included in nForce4 MCP51)
(10de:0368, included in nForce4 MCP55)
Datasheet: same as for nForce2 SMBus PCI interface

Description
-----------
i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2,
nForce3 and nForce4 MCP.
If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following,
00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
Capabilities: <available only to root>
then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.
Notes
-----
The SMBus adapter in the nForce2/3/4 chipset seems to be very similar to the
SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 southbridge. However, I could only get the
driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC interface
of the AMD-8111.
Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses,
both of which are supported by this driver.
