+Description
+-----------
+
+LTC2974 is a quad digital power supply manager. LTC2978 is an octal power supply
+monitor. LTC2977 is a pin compatible replacement for LTC2978. LTC3880 is a dual
+output poly-phase step-down DC/DC controller. LTC3883 is a single phase
+step-down DC/DC controller. LTM4676 is a dual 13A or single 26A uModule
+regulator.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
+devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following commands will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address
+0x60 on I2C bus #1:
+
+# modprobe ltc2978
+# echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
