+Description
+-----------
+
+LTC2974 and LTC2975 are quad digital power supply managers.
+LTC2978 is an octal power supply monitor.
+LTC2977 is a pin compatible replacement for LTC2978.
+LTC2980 is a 16-channel Power System Manager, consisting of two LTC2977
+in a single die. The chip is instantiated and reported as two separate chips
+on two different I2C bus addresses.
+LTC3880, LTC3882, LTC3886, and LTC3887 are dual output poly-phase step-down
+DC/DC controllers.
+LTC3883 is a single phase step-down DC/DC controller.
+LTM2987 is a 16-channel Power System Manager with two LTC2977 plus
+additional components on a single die. The chip is instantiated and reported
+as two separate chips on two different I2C bus addresses.
+LTM4675 is a dual 9A or single 18A μModule regulator
+LTM4676 is a dual 13A or single 26A uModule regulator.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
+devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following commands will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address
+0x60 on I2C bus #1:
+
+# modprobe ltc2978
+# echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
