60Except for the oldest chips (VT82C596A/B, VT82C686A and most probably
61VT8231), this driver supports I2C block transactions. Such transactions
62are mainly useful to read from and write to EEPROMs.

Rudolf Marekb806a712008-10-14 17:30:03 +0200[diff] [blame]64The CX700/VX800/VX820 additionally appears to support SMBus PEC, although
65this driver doesn't implement it yet.
