+Kernel driver ltc2978
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Linear Technology LTC2978
+ Prefix: 'ltc2978'

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC2978 is an octal power supply monitor, supervisor, sequencer and
+margin controller.
+
+
+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
