i2c-core takes care of the possible corruption of 24RF08 chips for
quite some times, so device devices no longer need to do it. And they
really should not, as applying the prevention twice voids it.

I thought that I had fixed all drivers long ago but apparently I had
missed that one.

<title>i2c-nforce2: Disable the second SMBus channel on the DFI Lanparty NF4 Expert</title>

There is a strange chip at 0x2e on the second SMBus channel of the
DFI Lanparty NF4 Expert motherboard. Accessing the chip reboots the
system. As there's nothing interesting on this SMBus channel, the
easiest and safest thing to do is to disable it on that board.

This is a better fix to bug #5889 than the it87 driver update that was
done originally:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5889

<title>[MIPS] Alchemy: SMBus resource fix</title>

The Alchemy platform code registers the SMBus device using the virtual
address of its registers instead of the physical one -- fix this, taking
into account that actually the whole megabyte is decoded by any of the
programmable serial controllers (one of which is SMBus), and that all the
Alchemy peripherals are directly mappable into KSEG1 kernel space and
therefore ioremap() call would just boil down to CKSEG1ADDR() invocation.

<title>i2c: Match dummy devices by type</title>

As the old driver_name/type matching scheme is going away soon, change
the dummy device mechanism to use the new matching scheme.

This has the downside that dummy i2c clients can no longer choose
their name, they'll all appear as "dummy" in sysfs and in log
messages. I don't think it is a problem in practice though, as there
is little reason to use these i2c clients to log messages.

The frequency may have been once hardcoded to 100 kHz, but currently it is
passed as an argument to i2c_sibyte_add_bus(), so update the comment to
match code.  While at it, reformat a nearby comment for consistency.  No
functional changes.

We had a report that running sensors-detect on a Sapphire AM2RD790
motherbord killed the CPU. While the exact cause is still unknown,
I'd rather play it safe and prevent any access to the SMBus on that
machine by not letting the i2c-piix4 driver attach to the SMBus host
device on that machine. Also blacklist a similar board made by DFI.

<title>i2c-piix4: Increase the intitial delay for the ServerWorks CSB5</title>

Per the PIIX4 errata, there maybe a delay between setting the
start bit in the Smbus Host Controller Register and the transaction
actually starting. If the driver doesn't delay long enough, it
may appear that the transaction is complete when actually it
hasn't started, this may lead to bus collisions.

While 1 ms appears to be enough for most chips, the ServerWorks CSB5
wants 2 ms.
