We will remove the copyright declaration as it was false reference from other drivers
Chip vendor doesn't support this driver, so we implement it for our own use and contribute it as Wiwynn is a system manufacturer, our server products use this chip.

It has been announced on Analog Devices website.
Please refer to this link: https://www.analog.com/en/products/ltc2487.html#product-overview
enum chips { ltc4286 = 0, ltc4287 };
Use in v1 line 118 to list chip index instead of hardcoding

We will add comments as below

We will revise to .b[PSC_TEMPERATURE] = 273,
However the value for this MBR is 273.15 in datasheet
We use 273 due to pmbus code limitation

We will add comaprision here.

After confirming with vendor, they said there is no default rsesne for this chip
The value for rsense depends on hardware engineer in each manufacturer

If there are more than one LTC4286 or LTC4287 chips, user can add the configuration for different chips in dts file

So do you recommend us to put this enum (enum chips { ltc4286, ltc4287 };) here?

So do you recommend us to not put this enum (enum chips { ltc4286, ltc4287 };) here?
