33 Description
34 -----------
36 This driver supports hardware montoring for various PMBus compliant devices.
37 It supports voltage, current, power, and temperature sensors as supported
38 by the device.
40 Each monitored channel has its own high and low limits, plus a critical
41 limit.
43 Fan support will be added in a later version of this driver.
46 Usage Notes
47 -----------
49 This driver does not probe for PMBus devices, since there is no register
50 which can be safely used to identify the chip (The MFG_ID register is not
51 supported by all chips), and since there is no well defined address range for
52 PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly.
54 Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address 0x60
55 on I2C bus #1:
56 $ modprobe pmbus
57 $ echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
60 Platform data support
61 ---------------------
63 Support for additional PMBus chips can be added by defining chip parameters in
64 a new chip specific driver file. For example, (untested) code to add support for
65 Emerson DS1200 power modules might look as follows.

129 Sysfs entries
130 -------------
132 When probing the chip, the driver identifies which PMBus registers are
133 supported, and determines available sensors from this information.
134 Attribute files only exist if respective sensors are suported by the chip.
135 Labels are provided to inform the user about the sensor associated with
136 a given sysfs entry.
