+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for Maxim MAX6620 fan controller.
+
+The driver configures the fan controller in RPM mode. To give the readings more
+range or accuracy, the desired value can be set by a programmable register
+(1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32). Set higher values for larger speeds.
+
+The driver provides the following sensor access in sysfs:
+
+================ ======= =====================================================
+fan[1-4]_alarm ro Fan alarm.
+fan[1-4]_div rw Sets the nominal RPM range of the fan. Valid values
+ are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32.
+fan[1-4]_input ro Fan speed in RPM.
+fan[1-4]_target rw Desired fan speed in RPM.
+================ ======= =====================================================
+
+Usage notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices.rst for
+details.
