Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The w1_ds2406 driver allows connected devices to be switched on and off. 
 | 
						|
These chips also provide 128 bytes of OTP EPROM, but reading/writing it is
 | 
						|
not supported.  In TSOC-6 form, the DS2406 provides two switch outputs and
 | 
						|
can be provided with power on a dedicated input.  In TO-92 form, it provides
 | 
						|
one output and uses parasitic power only.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The driver provides two sysfs files.  state is readable; it gives the
 | 
						|
current state of each switch, with PIO A in bit 0 and PIO B in bit 1.  The
 | 
						|
driver ORs this state with 0x30, so shell scripts get an ASCII 0/1/2/3 to
 | 
						|
work with.  output is writable; bits 0 and 1 control PIO A and B,
 | 
						|
respectively.  Bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII data.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
CRCs are checked on read and write.  Failed checks cause an I/O error to be
 | 
						|
returned.  On a failed write, the switch status is not changed.
