+Kernel driver ltc2990
+=====================

+Description
+-----------
+
+LTC2990 is a Quad I2C Voltage, Current and Temperature Monitor.
+The chip's inputs can measure 4 voltages, or two inputs together (1+2 and 3+4)
+can be combined to measure a differential voltage, which is typically used to
+measure current through a series resistor, or a temperature.
+
+This driver currently uses the 2x differential mode only. In order to support
+other modes, the driver will need to be expanded.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
+devices explicitly.
+
+
+Sysfs attributes
+----------------
+
+The "curr*_input" measurements actually report the voltage drop across the
+input pins in microvolts. This is equivalent to the current through a 1mOhm
+sense resistor. Divide the reported value by the actual sense resistor value
+in mOhm to get the actual value.
+
+in0_input     Voltage at Vcc pin in millivolt (range 2.5V to 5V)
+temp1_input   Internal chip temperature in millidegrees Celcius
+curr1_input   Current in mA across v1-v2 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor.
+curr2_input   Current in mA across v3-v4 assuming a 1mOhm sense resistor.
