11 I2C (pronounce: I-squared-C) is a slow serial bus protocol used in
12 many micro controller applications and developed by Philips. SMBus,
13 or System Management Bus is a subset of the I2C protocol. More
14 information is contained in the directory <file:Documentation/i2c/>,
15 especially in the file called "summary" there.
16
17 Both I2C and SMBus are supported here. You will need this for
18 hardware sensors support, and also for Video For Linux support.
19
20 If you want I2C support, you should say Y here and also to the
21 specific driver for your bus adapter(s) below.
22
23 This I2C support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
24 will be called i2c-core.

28 depends on I2C=y && ACPI
29 default y
30 help
31 Say Y here if you want to enable ACPI I2C operation region support.
32 Operation Regions allow firmware (BIOS) code to access I2C slave devices,
33 such as smart batteries through an I2C host controller driver.

43 default y
44 help
45 Say Y here if you intend to run lm-sensors 3.1.1 or older, or any
46 other user-space package which expects i2c adapters to be class
47 devices. If you don't know, say Y.
48
49 config I2C_CHARDEV
50 tristate "I2C device interface"
51 help
52 Say Y here to use i2c-* device files, usually found in the /dev
53 directory on your system. They make it possible to have user-space
54 programs use the I2C bus. Information on how to do this is
55 contained in the file <file:Documentation/i2c/dev-interface>.
56
57 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
58 will be called i2c-dev.
59
60 config I2C_MUX
61 tristate "I2C bus multiplexing support"
62 help
63 Say Y here if you want the I2C core to support the ability to
64 handle multiplexed I2C bus topologies, by presenting each
65 multiplexed segment as a I2C adapter.
66
67 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
68 will be called i2c-mux.

72 config I2C_HELPER_AUTO
73 bool "Autoselect pertinent helper modules"
74 default y
75 help
76 Some I2C bus drivers require so-called "I2C algorithm" modules
77 to work. These are basically software-only abstractions of generic
78 I2C interfaces. This option will autoselect them so that you don't
79 have to care.
80
81 Unselect this only if you need to enable additional helper
82 modules, for example for use with external I2C bus drivers.
83
84 In doubt, say Y.
85
86 config I2C_SMBUS
87 tristate "SMBus-specific protocols" if !I2C_HELPER_AUTO
88 help
89 Say Y here if you want support for SMBus extensions to the I2C
90 specification. At the moment, two extensions are supported:
91 the SMBus Alert protocol and the SMBus Host Notify protocol.
92
93 This support is also available as a module. If so, the module
94 will be called i2c-smbus.

103 help
104 This module may be useful to developers of SMBus client drivers,
105 especially for certain kinds of sensor chips.
106
107 If you do build this module, be sure to read the notes and warnings
108 in <file:Documentation/i2c/i2c-stub>.
109
110 If you don't know what to do here, definitely say N.
