From ed6182a83924c2385679afd5a3b9cd3d41e2ef44 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2019 11:34:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i2c: i801: Documentation update The i2c-i801 driver documentation needs some dusting: * Mention disable_features flag 0x20. * The i2c_ec driver has been removed from the kernel long ago. Driver i2c-scmi serves the same purpose for more recent hardware. * Replace obsolete /proc paths with equivalent /sys paths.
