+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the ChargerLAB POWER-Z USB-C power testing
+family.
+
+The device communicates with the custom protocol over USB.
+
+The channel labels exposed via hwmon match the labels used by the on-device
+display and the official POWER-Z PC software.
+
+As current can flow in both directions through the tester the sign of the
+channel "curr1_input" (label "IBUS") indicates the direction.
