[PATCH v3 5/5] w1_therm: adding bulk read support. Updating docs in w1_therm.rst and sysfs-driver-w1_therm

From: Akira Shimahara
Date: Wed Apr 29 2020 - 09:34:55 EST


Patch for enhacement of w1_therm module. Adding bulk read support.
Sending a 'trigger' command in the dedicated sysfs entry of the bus master
device send a conversion command for all the slaves on the bus. The sysfs
entry is added as soon as at least one device supporting this feature
is detected on the bus.

A strong pull up is apply on the line if at least one device required it.
The duration of the pull up is the max time required by a device on the
line, which depends on the resolution settings of each device. The strong
pull up could be adjust with the a module parameter.

Updating documentation in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-w1_therm
and Documentation/w1/slaves/w1_therm.rst

+A bulk read of all devices on the bus could be done writing 'trigger'

+sysfs alarms allow read or write TH and TL (Temperature High an Low) alarms.
+Values shall be space separated and in the device range (typical -55 degC
+to 125 degC). Values are integer as they are store in a 8bit register in

The module parameter strong_pullup can be set to 0 to disable the
strong pullup, 1 to enable autodetection or 2 to force strong pullup.
