+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX8688 Digital Power-Supply
+Controller/Monitor with PMBus Interface.
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
+Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
+details.
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
+attributes are read-only.
+
+in1_label              "vout1"
+in1_input              Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
+in1_min                        Minumum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in1_max                        Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in1_lcrit              Critical minumum Voltage. VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+in1_crit               Critical maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+in1_min_alarm          Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
+in1_max_alarm          Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
+in1_lcrit_alarm                Voltage critical low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
+in1_crit_alarm         Voltage critical high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.
+
+curr1_label            "iout1"
+curr1_input            Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.
+curr1_max              Maximum current. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
+curr1_crit             Critical maximum current. From IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+curr1_max_alarm                Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
+curr1_crit_alarm       Current critical high alarm. From IOUT_OC_FAULT status.
+
+temp1_input            Measured temperature. From READ_TEMPERATURE_1 register.
+temp1_max              Maximum temperature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
+temp1_crit             Critical high temperature. From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+temp1_max_alarm                Chip temperature high alarm. Set by comparing
+                       READ_TEMPERATURE_1 with OT_WARN_LIMIT if TEMP_OT_WARNING
+                       status is set.
+temp1_crit_alarm       Chip temperature critical high alarm. Set by comparing
+                       READ_TEMPERATURE_1 with OT_FAULT_LIMIT if TEMP_OT_FAULT
+                       status is set.
