+w1_ds2406 kernel driver
+=======================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Maxim DS2406 (and other family 0x12) addressable switches

+Description
+-----------
+
+The w1_ds2406 driver allows connected devices to be switched on and off.
+These chips also provide 128 bytes of OTP EPROM, but reading/writing it is
+not supported.  In TSOC-6 form, the DS2406 provides two switch outputs and
+can be provided with power on a dedicated input.  In TO-92 form, it provides
+one output and uses parasitic power only.
+
+The driver provides two sysfs files.  state is readable; it gives the
+current state of each switch, with PIO A in bit 0 and PIO B in bit 1.  The
+driver ORs this state with 0x30, so shell scripts get an ASCII 0/1/2/3 to
+work with.  output is writable; bits 0 and 1 control PIO A and B,
+respectively.  Bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII data.
+
+CRCs are checked on read and write.  Failed checks cause an I/O error to be
+returned.  On a failed write, the switch status is not changed.
