  Kernel driver i2c-taos-evm
  
  Author: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
  
  This is a driver for the evaluation modules for TAOS I2C/SMBus chips.
  The modules include an SMBus master with limited capabilities, which can
  be controlled over the serial port. Virtually all evaluation modules
  are supported, but a few lines of code need to be added for each new
  module to instantiate the right I2C chip on the bus. Obviously, a driver
  for the chip in question is also needed.
  
  Currently supported devices are:
  
  * TAOS TSL2550 EVM
  
  For additional information on TAOS products, please see
    http://www.taosinc.com/
  
  
  Using this driver
  -----------------
  
  In order to use this driver, you'll need the serport driver, and the
  inputattach tool, which is part of the input-utils package. The following
  commands will tell the kernel that you have a TAOS EVM on the first
  serial port:
  
  # modprobe serport
  # inputattach --taos-evm /dev/ttyS0
  
  
  Technical details
  -----------------
  
  Only 4 SMBus transaction types are supported by the TAOS evaluation
  modules:
  * Receive Byte
  * Send Byte
  * Read Byte
  * Write Byte
  
  The communication protocol is text-based and pretty simple. It is
  described in a PDF document on the CD which comes with the evaluation
  module. The communication is rather slow, because the serial port has
  to operate at 1200 bps. However, I don't think this is a big concern in
  practice, as these modules are meant for evaluation and testing only.
