+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX34440 PMBus 6-Channel
+Power-Supply Manager, MAX34441 PMBus 5-Channel Power-Supply Manager
+and Intelligent Fan Controller, and MAX34446 PMBus Power-Supply Data Logger.
+It also supports the MAX34460 and MAX34461 PMBus Voltage Monitor & Sequencers.
+The MAX34460 supports 12 voltage channels, and the MAX34461 supports 16 voltage
+channels.
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
+Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
+devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
+details.
+
+For MAX34446, the value of the currX_crit attribute determines if current or
+voltage measurement is enabled for a given channel. Voltage measurement is
+enabled if currX_crit is set to 0; current measurement is enabled if the
+attribute is set to a positive value. Power measurement is only enabled if
+channel 1 (3) is configured for voltage measurement, and channel 2 (4) is
+configured for current measurement.
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
+attributes are read-only.
+
+in[1-6]_label "vout[1-6]".
+in[1-6]_input Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
+in[1-6]_min Minimum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_max Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_lcrit Critical minimum Voltage. VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_crit Critical maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_min_alarm Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
+in[1-6]_max_alarm Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
+in[1-6]_lcrit_alarm Voltage critical low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
+in[1-6]_crit_alarm Voltage critical high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.
+in[1-6]_lowest Historical minimum voltage.
+in[1-6]_highest Historical maximum voltage.
+in[1-6]_reset_history Write any value to reset history.
+
+ MAX34446 only supports in[1-4].
+
+curr[1-6]_label "iout[1-6]".
+curr[1-6]_input Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.

+curr[1-6]_max_alarm Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARNING status.
+curr[1-6]_crit_alarm Current critical high alarm. From IOUT_OC_FAULT status.
+curr[1-4]_average Historical average current (MAX34446 only).
+curr[1-6]_highest Historical maximum current.
+curr[1-6]_reset_history Write any value to reset history.
+
+ in6 and curr6 attributes only exist for MAX34440.

+ are remote I2C temperature sensors.
+temp[1-8]_max Maximum temperature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
+temp[1-8]_crit Critical high temperature. From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
+temp[1-8]_max_alarm Temperature high alarm.
+temp[1-8]_crit_alarm Temperature critical high alarm.
+temp[1-8]_average Historical average temperature (MAX34446 only).
+temp[1-8]_highest Historical maximum temperature.
+temp[1-8]_reset_history Write any value to reset history.
+
+ temp7 and temp8 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
+ MAX34446 only supports temp[1-3].
+
+MAX34460 supports attribute groups in[1-12] and temp[1-5].
+MAX34461 supports attribute groups in[1-16] and temp[1-5].
