Module Parameters
-----------------
-None.
+* disable_features (bit vector)
+Disable selected features normally supported by the device. This makes it
+possible to work around possible driver or hardware bugs if the feature in
+question doesn't work as intended for whatever reason. Bit values:
+ 1 disable SMBus PEC
+ 2 disable the block buffer
+ 8 disable the I2C block read functionality
