+Kernel driver ltc4245

+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
+from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
+PCI Express.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
+of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
+instantiate the devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
+on I2C bus #1::
+
+	$ modprobe ltc4245
+	$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
+makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
+
+This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
+into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
+rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

+Note 1
+------
+
+If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog
+voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be
+created. The driver will sample the GPIO pin that is currently connected to the
+ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input.
+
+If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages,
+then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too
+slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing
+the sensor reading.
+
+The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods:
+
+1) platform data -- see include/linux/platform_data/ltc4245.h
+2) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip
+
+The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin.
