[PATCH 4/4] hwmon: (max34440) Add driver documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



MAX34440 and MAX34441 have their own driver, thus there should be explicit
documentation instead of mentioning the chips in the generic PMBus driver
documentation.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX34440 PMBus 6-Channel
+Power-Supply Manager and MAX34441 PMBus 5-Channel Power-Supply Manager
+and Intelligent Fan Controller.
+
+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.
+
+
+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		Minumum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_max		Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
+in[1-6]_lcrit		Critical minumum 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.
+
+curr[1-6]_label		"iout[1-6]".
+curr[1-6]_input		Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.
+curr[1-6]_max		Maximum current. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
+curr[1-6]_crit		Critical maximum current. From IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT 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.
+
+			in6 and curr6 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
+
+temp[1-8]_input		Measured temperatures. From READ_TEMPERATURE_1 register.
+			temp1 is the chip's internal temperature. temp2..temp5
+			are remote I2C temperature sensors. For MAX34441, temp6
+			is a remote thermal-diode sensor. For MAX34440, temp6..8
+			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.
+
+			temp7 and temp8 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
