+Description
+-----------
+
+The Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor DS2490 is a chip
+which allows to build USB <-> W1 bridges.
+
+DS9490(R) is a USB <-> W1 bus master device
+which has 0x81 family ID integrated chip and DS2490
+low-level operational chip.
+
+Notes and limitations.
+
+- The weak pullup current is a minimum of 0.9mA and maximum of 6.0mA.
+- The 5V strong pullup is supported with a minimum of 5.9mA and a
+  maximum of 30.4 mA.  (From DS2490.pdf)
+- The hardware will detect when devices are attached to the bus on the
+  next bus (reset?) operation, however only a message is printed as
+  the core w1 code doesn't make use of the information.  Connecting
+  one device tends to give multiple new device notifications.
+- The number of USB bus transactions could be reduced if w1_reset_send
+  was added to the API.  The name is just a suggestion.  It would take
+  a write buffer and a read buffer (along with sizes) as arguments.
+  The ds2490 block I/O command supports reset, write buffer, read
+  buffer, and strong pullup all in one command, instead of the current
+  1 reset bus, 2 write the match rom command and slave rom id, 3 block
+  write and read data.  The write buffer needs to have the match rom
+  command and slave rom id prepended to the front of the requested
+  write buffer, both of which are known to the driver.
+- The hardware supports normal, flexible, and overdrive bus
+  communication speeds, but only the normal is supported.
+- The registered w1_bus_master functions don't define error
+  conditions.  If a bus search is in progress and the ds2490 is
+  removed it can produce a good amount of error output before the bus
+  search finishes.
+- The hardware supports detecting some error conditions, such as
+  short, alarming presence on reset, and no presence on reset, but the
+  driver doesn't query those values.
+- The ds2490 specification doesn't cover short bulk in reads in
+  detail, but my observation is if fewer bytes are requested than are
+  available, the bulk read will return an error and the hardware will
+  clear the entire bulk in buffer.  It would be possible to read the
+  maximum buffer size to not run into this error condition, only extra
+  bytes in the buffer is a logic error in the driver.  The code should
+  should match reads and writes as well as data sizes.  Reads and
+  writes are serialized and the status verifies that the chip is idle
+  (and data is available) before the read is executed, so it should
+  not happen.
+- Running x86_64 2.6.24 UHCI under qemu 0.9.0 under x86_64 2.6.22-rc6
+  with a OHCI controller, ds2490 running in the guest would operate
+  normally the first time the module was loaded after qemu attached
+  the ds2490 hardware, but if the module was unloaded, then reloaded
+  most of the time one of the bulk out or in, and usually the bulk in
+  would fail.  qemu sets a 50ms timeout and the bulk in would timeout
+  even when the status shows data available.  A bulk out write would
+  show a successful completion, but the ds2490 status register would
+  show 0 bytes written.  Detaching qemu from the ds2490 hardware and
+  reattaching would clear the problem.  usbmon output in the guest and
+  host did not explain the problem.  My guess is a bug in either qemu
+  or the host OS and more likely the host OS.
