+Kernel driver intel-m10-bmc-hwmon
+=================================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+ * Intel MAX 10 BMC for Intel PAC N3000
+
+ Prefix: 'n3000bmc-hwmon'
+
+Author: Xu Yilun <yilun.xu@intel.com>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver adds the temperature, voltage, current and power reading
+support for the Intel MAX 10 Board Management Controller (BMC) chip.
+The BMC chip is integrated in some Intel Programmable Acceleration
+Cards (PAC). It connects to a set of sensor chips to monitor the
+sensor data of different components on the board. The BMC firmware is
+responsible for sensor data sampling and recording in shared
+registers. The host driver reads the sensor data from these shared
+registers and exposes them to users as hwmon interfaces.
+
+The BMC chip is implemented using the Intel MAX 10 CPLD. It could be
+reprogramed to some variants in order to support different Intel
+PACs. The driver is designed to be able to distinguish between the
+variants, but now it only supports the BMC for Intel PAC N3000.
