Subject: [PATCH 08/10] hwmon: (max197) Remove driver
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 10:34:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110183434.181711-9-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110183434.181711-1-linux@roeck-us.net>

The max197 driver requires platform data providing a convert() callback
function pointer and fails to probe without it. No in-tree platform ever
instantiates max197 or supplies struct max197_platform_data, and there
is no alternative mechanism to access the chip.

Remove the unused driver, its platform_data header file, Kconfig/Makefile
entries, and documentation.

-Kernel driver max197
-====================
-
-Author:
-
-  * Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@savoirfairelinux.com>
-
-Supported chips:
-
-  * Maxim MAX197
-
-    Prefix: 'max197'
-
-    Datasheet: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX197.pdf
-
-  * Maxim MAX199
-
-    Prefix: 'max199'
-
-    Datasheet: https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX199.pdf
-
-Description
------------
-
-The A/D converters MAX197, and MAX199 are both 8-Channel, Multi-Range, 5V,
-12-Bit DAS with 8+4 Bus Interface and Fault Protection.
-
-The available ranges for the MAX197 are {0,-5V} to 5V, and {0,-10V} to 10V,
-while they are {0,-2V} to 2V, and {0,-4V} to 4V on the MAX199.
-
-Platform data
--------------
-
-The MAX197 platform data (defined in linux/platform_data/max197.h) should be
-filled with a pointer to a conversion function, defined like::
-
-    int convert(u8 ctrl);
-
-ctrl is the control byte to write to start a new conversion.
-On success, the function must return the 12-bit raw value read from the chip,
-or a negative error code otherwise.
-
-Control byte format:
-
-======= ========== ============================================
-Bit     Name       Description
-7,6     PD1,PD0    Clock and Power-Down modes
-5       ACQMOD     Internal or External Controlled Acquisition
-4       RNG        Full-scale voltage magnitude at the input
-3       BIP        Unipolar or Bipolar conversion mode
-2,1,0   A2,A1,A0   Channel
-======= ========== ============================================
-
-Sysfs interface
----------------
-
-  ============== ==============================================================
-  in[0-7]_input  The conversion value for the corresponding channel.
-		 RO
-
-  in[0-7]_min    The lower limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
-		 For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to -10000, -5000, or 0.
-		 For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to -4000, -2000, or 0.
-		 RW
-
-  in[0-7]_max    The higher limit (in mV) for the corresponding channel.
-		 For the MAX197, it will be adjusted to 0, 5000, or 10000.
-		 For the MAX199, it will be adjusted to 0, 2000, or 4000.
