+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for SoC's based on the ARM
+System Control Processor (SCP) implementing the System Control
+Processor Interface (SCPI). The following sensor types are supported
+by the SCP -
+
+ * temperature
+ * voltage
+ * current
+ * power
+
+The SCP interface provides an API to query the available sensors and
+their values which are then exported to userspace by this driver.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+The driver relies on device tree node to indicate the presence of SCPI
+support in the kernel. See
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/arm,scpi.txt for details of the
+devicetree node. \ No newline at end of file
