     18Description
     19-----------
     20The DS28E17 is a Onewire slave device which acts as an I2C bus master.
     21
     22This driver creates a new I2C bus for any DS28E17 device detected. I2C buses
     23come and go as the DS28E17 devices come and go. I2C slave devices connected to
     24a DS28E17 can be accessed by the kernel or userspace tools as if they were
     25connected to a "native" I2C bus master.
     26
     27
     28An udev rule like the following::
     29
     30  SUBSYSTEM=="i2c-dev", KERNEL=="i2c-[0-9]*", ATTRS{name}=="w1-19-*", \
     31          SYMLINK+="i2c-$attr{name}"
     32
     33may be used to create stable /dev/i2c- entries based on the unique id of the
     34DS28E17 chip.
     35
     36
     37Driver parameters are:
     38
     39speed:
     40	This sets up the default I2C speed a DS28E17 get configured for as soon
     41	it is connected. The power-on default	of the DS28E17 is 400kBaud, but
     42	chips may come and go on the Onewire bus without being de-powered and
     43	as soon the "w1_ds28e17" driver notices a freshly connected, or
     44	reconnected DS28E17 device on the Onewire bus, it will re-apply this
     45	setting.
     46
     47	Valid values are 100, 400, 900 [kBaud]. Any other value means to leave
     48	alone the current DS28E17 setting on detect. The default value is 100.
     49
     50stretch:
     51	This sets up the default stretch value used for freshly connected
     52	DS28E17 devices. It is a multiplier used on the calculation of the busy
     53	wait time for an I2C transfer. This is to account for I2C slave devices
     54	which make heavy use of the I2C clock stretching feature and thus, the
     55	needed timeout cannot be pre-calculated correctly. As the w1_ds28e17
     56	driver checks the DS28E17's busy flag in a loop after the precalculated
     57	wait time, it should be hardly needed to tweak this setting.
     58
     59	Leave it at 1 unless you get ETIMEDOUT errors and a "w1_slave_driver
     60	19-00000002dbd8: busy timeout" in the kernel log.
     61
     62	Valid values are 1 to 9. The default is 1.
     63
     64
     65The driver creates sysfs files /sys/bus/w1/devices/19-<id>/speed and
     66/sys/bus/w1/devices/19-<id>/stretch for each device, preloaded with the default
     67settings from the driver parameters. They may be changed anytime. In addition a
     68directory /sys/bus/w1/devices/19-<id>/i2c-<nnn> for the I2C bus master sysfs
     69structure is created.
