  14 Description
  15 -----------
  16
  17 The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
  18 from a live backplane.

  21 Usage Notes
  22 -----------
  23
  24 This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
  25 of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
  26 instantiate the devices explicitly.
  27
  28 Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44
  29 on I2C bus #0:
  30 $ modprobe ltc4215
  31 $ echo ltc4215 0x44 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device

  37 The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
  38 undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference
  39 circuit will be used.
