The new-style pca9539 driver implements the optional detect() callback to cover the use cases of the legacy driver. Warning: users will now have to use the force module parameter to get the driver to attach to their device. That's not a bad thing as these devices can't be detected anyway. Note that this doesn't change the fact that this driver is deprecated in favor of gpio/pca953x. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The Philips PCA9539 is a 16 bit low power I/O device.
|
|
All 16 lines can be individually configured as an input or output.
|
|
The input sense can also be inverted.
|
|
The 16 lines are split between two bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detection
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The PCA9539 is difficult to detect and not commonly found in PC machines,
|
|
so you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCA9539
|
|
devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the force=... parameter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sysfs entries
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Each is a byte that maps to the 8 I/O bits.
|
|
A '0' suffix is for bits 0-7, while '1' is for bits 8-15.
|
|
|
|
input[01] - read the current value
|
|
output[01] - sets the output value
|
|
direction[01] - direction of each bit: 1=input, 0=output
|
|
invert[01] - toggle the input bit sense
|
|
|
|
input reads the actual state of the line and is always available.
|
|
The direction defaults to input for all channels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General Remarks
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Note that each output, direction, and invert entry controls 8 lines.
|
|
You should use the read, modify, write sequence.
|
|
For example. to set output bit 0 of 1.
|
|
val=$(cat output0)
|
|
val=$(( $val | 1 ))
|
|
echo $val > output0
