13 Description
14 -----------
16 This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX8688 Digital Power-Supply
17 Controller/Monitor with PMBus Interface.
19 The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
20 Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.
23 Usage Notes
24 -----------
26 This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
27 devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
28 details.
31 Platform data support
32 ---------------------
34 The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
