chromebook_platform4

Support driver for hardware on various chromebook models

Usage

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

chromebook_platform_load="YES"

Overview

The chromebook_platform driver provides automatic configuration for devices that cannot be enumerated or safely probed. In particular, I2C peripherals are different from model to model. chromebook_platform has a model-specific information about the I2C peripherals, their drivers, their bus attachments and slave addresses.

Note that chromebook_platform does not load driver modules for the peripherals. Those have to be compiled into the kernel or loaded separately.
