+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring 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.
+
+
+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
+
+
+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 suported 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.
+
+inX_input Measured voltage. From READ_VIN or READ_VOUT register.
+inX_min Minumum Voltage.
+ From VIN_UV_WARN_LIMIT or VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+inX_max Maximum voltage.
+ From VIN_OV_WARN_LIMIT or VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+inX_lcrit Critical minumum Voltage.
+ From VIN_UV_FAULT_LIMIT or VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+inX_crit Critical maximum voltage.
+ From VIN_OV_FAULT_LIMIT or VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+inX_min_alarm Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
+inX_max_alarm Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
+inX_lcrit_alarm Voltage critical low alarm.
+ From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
+inX_crit_alarm Voltage critical high alarm.
+ From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.
+inX_label "vin", "vcap", or "voutY"
+
+currX_input Measured current. From READ_IIN or READ_IOUT register.
+currX_max Maximum current.
+ From IIN_OC_WARN_LIMIT or IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
+currX_lcrit Critical minumum output current.
+ From IOUT_UC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+currX_crit Critical maximum current.
+ From IIN_OC_FAULT_LIMIT or IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+currX_alarm Current high alarm.
+ From IIN_OC_WARNING or IOUT_OC_WARNING status.
+currX_lcrit_alarm Output current critical low alarm.
+ From IOUT_UC_FAULT status.
+currX_crit_alarm Current critical high alarm.
+ From IIN_OC_FAULT or IOUT_OC_FAULT status.
+currX_label "iin" or "vinY"
+
+powerX_input Measured power. From READ_PIN or READ_POUT register.
+powerX_cap Output power cap. From POUT_MAX register.
+powerX_max Power limit. From PIN_OP_WARN_LIMIT or
+ POUT_OP_WARN_LIMIT register.
+powerX_crit Critical output power limit.
+ From POUT_OP_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+powerX_alarm Power high alarm.
+ From PIN_OP_WARNING or POUT_OP_WARNING status.
+powerX_crit_alarm Output power critical high alarm.
+ From POUT_OP_FAULT status.
+powerX_label "pin" or "poutY"
+
+tempX_input Measured tempererature.
+ From READ_TEMPERATURE_X register.
+tempX_min Mimimum tempererature. From UT_WARN_LIMIT register.
+tempX_max Maximum tempererature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
+tempX_lcrit Critical low tempererature.
+ From UT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+tempX_crit Critical high tempererature.
+ From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+tempX_min_alarm Chip temperature low alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_X with UT_WARN_LIMIT if
+ TEMP_UT_WARNING status is set.
+tempX_max_alarm Chip temperature high alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_X with OT_WARN_LIMIT if
+ TEMP_OT_WARNING status is set.
+tempX_lcrit_alarm Chip temperature critical low alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_X with UT_FAULT_LIMIT if
+ TEMP_UT_FAULT status is set.
+tempX_crit_alarm Chip temperature critical high alarm. Set by comparing
+ READ_TEMPERATURE_X with OT_FAULT_LIMIT if
+ TEMP_OT_FAULT status is set.
