+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for various PMBus compliant devices.
+It supports voltage, current, power, and temperature sensors as supported
+by the device.
+
+Each monitored channel has its own high and low limits, plus a critical
+limit.
+
+Fan support will be added in a later version of this driver.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices, since there is no register
+which can be safely used to identify the chip (The MFG_ID register is not
+supported by all chips), and since there is no well defined address range for
+PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address 0x60
+on I2C bus #1::
+
+ $ modprobe pmbus
+ $ echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+Support for additional PMBus chips can be added by defining chip parameters in
+a new chip specific driver file. For example, (untested) code to add support for
+Emerson DS1200 power modules might look as follows::
+
+ static struct pmbus_driver_info ds1200_info = {
+ .pages = 1,
+ /* Note: All other sensors are in linear mode */
+ .direct[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = true,
+ .direct[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = true,
+ .direct[PSC_CURRENT_OUT] = true,
+ .m[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 1,
+ .b[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 0,
+ .R[PSC_VOLTAGE_IN] = 3,
+ .m[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 1,
+ .b[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 0,
+ .R[PSC_VOLTAGE_OUT] = 3,
+ .m[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 1,
+ .b[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 0,
+ .R[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 3,
+ .func[0] = PMBUS_HAVE_VIN | PMBUS_HAVE_IIN | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_INPUT
+ | PMBUS_HAVE_VOUT | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_VOUT
+ | PMBUS_HAVE_IOUT | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_IOUT
+ | PMBUS_HAVE_PIN | PMBUS_HAVE_POUT
+ | PMBUS_HAVE_TEMP | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_TEMP
+ | PMBUS_HAVE_FAN12 | PMBUS_HAVE_STATUS_FAN12,
+ };
+
+ static int ds1200_probe(struct i2c_client *client)
+ {
+ return pmbus_do_probe(client, &ds1200_info);
+ }
+
+ static const struct i2c_device_id ds1200_id[] = {
+ {"ds1200", 0},
+ {}
+ };
+
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ds1200_id);
+
+ /* This is the driver that will be inserted */
+ static struct i2c_driver ds1200_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "ds1200",
+ },
+ .probe_new = ds1200_probe,
+ .id_table = ds1200_id,
+ };
+
+ static int __init ds1200_init(void)
+ {
+ return i2c_add_driver(&ds1200_driver);
+ }
+
+ static void __exit ds1200_exit(void)
+ {
+ i2c_del_driver(&ds1200_driver);
+ }
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+When probing the chip, the driver identifies which PMBus registers are
+supported, and determines available sensors from this information.
+Attribute files only exist if respective sensors are supported by the chip.
+Labels are provided to inform the user about the sensor associated with
+a given sysfs entry.
+
+The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
+attributes are read-only.
