This device is an integrated module of the Delta AHE-50DC Open19 power

referencing an existing (GPL) driver that was included in a code release
from LinkedIn [1].  It provides four fan speeds, four temperatures, and
one voltage reading, as well as a handful of warning and fault
indicators.

Hmm, that reference isn't really accurate anymore. I think it would be
better to just say that the device was found to be PMBus compliant.

Sure, will do.

How did you determine the exponents ? The referenced driver
doesn't seem to make a difference between voltage and temperature
exponents (nor fan speed, which is a bit odd).

Lacking documentation, the honest answer here is that I just sort of eyeballed it.  However, after doing so, I dug through the code dump a bit more and found some userspace unit-conversion bits that appear to confirm what I arrived at:

https://github.com/linkedin/o19-bmc-firmware/blob/master/meta-openbmc/meta-linkedin/meta-deltapower/recipes-deltapower/platform-lib/files/powershelf/powershelf_fan.c

(Lines 107, and 153/161/169/177.)


Brr. Well, why use a standard API/ABI if one can invent a non-standard one.

Can you check this with real hardware, by any chance ?

Is that necessary ? It should only be used if trying to read CAPABILITY
reports bad data.

Unfortunately it does seem to be needed -- CAPABILITY returns 0xff, but despite having bit 7 set the device mangles all subsequent transactions by returning bad PEC bytes if we enable I2C_CLIENT_PEC.  Actually, none of the fields in that CAPABILITY value seem to accurately reflect the device's observed behavior; I'm pretty sure 0xff is just what it returns when it doesn't support something (I think the bad PECs it sends are all 0xff too).

I'll add an explanatory comment in v4.


Please do.

Thanks,
Guenter
