Ira W. Snyder 0a6bf658c3 hwmon: (ltc4215) make sysfs file match the alarm cause
The ltc4215 driver used the chip's "power good" status bit to provide
the power1_alarm file. This is wrong: the chip is really reporting the
status of one of the monitored voltages.

Change the sysfs file from power1_alarm to in2_min_alarm instead. This
matches the voltage that the chip is raising an alarm for.

Jean Delvare 2d2a7cff1b ltc4215/ltc4245: Discard obsolete detect methods
There is no point in implementing a detect callback for the LTC4215
and LTC4245, as these devices can't be detected. It was there solely
to handle "force" module parameters to instantiate devices, but now
we have a better sysfs interface that can do the same.

So we can get rid of the ugly module parameters and the detect
callbacks. This shrinks the binary module sizes by 36% and 46%,
respectively.

Ira W. Snyder b6b9d69602 hwmon: (ltc4215) Clear faults at startup
When power is applied to the ltc4215 chip it sometimes reports spurious
faults. The faults are not yet exposed via sysfs, however it may be useful
for userspace to read the fault register directly with the i2cget command.
Clear the fault register when the driver is installed so userspace doesn't
have to worry about spurious fault indications.

Ira Snyder 72f5de92e1 hwmon: Add LTC4215 driver
Add Linux support for the Linear Technology LTC4215 Hot Swap controller
I2C monitoring interface.

I have tested the driver with my board, and it appears to work fine.  With
the power supplies disabled, it reads 11.93V input, 1.93V output, no
current and no power.  With the supplies enabled, it reads 11.93V input,
11.98V output, no current, no power.  I'm not drawing any current at the
moment, so this is reasonable.  The value in the sense register never
reads anything except 0, so I expect to get zero from the current and
power calculations.

I didn't attempt to support changing any of the chip's settings or
enabling the FET.  I'm not sure even how to do that and still fit within
the hwmon framework.  :)
