hwmon: (max34440) Add driver documentation
MAX34440 and MAX34441 have their own driver, thus there should be explicit documentation instead of mentioning the chips in the generic PMBus driver documentation. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <guenter.roeck@ericsson.com> Reviewed-by: Tom Grennan <tom.grennan@ericsson.com>

18Description
19-----------
20
21This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX34440 PMBus 6-Channel
22Power-Supply Manager and MAX34441 PMBus 5-Channel Power-Supply Manager
23and Intelligent Fan Controller.
24
25The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
26Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.

29Usage Notes
30-----------
31
32This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
33devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
34details.

37Platform data support
38---------------------
39
40The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.

43Sysfs entries
44-------------
45
46The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
47attributes are read-only.
48
49in[1-6]_label "vout[1-6]".
50in[1-6]_input Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
51in[1-6]_min Minumum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
52in[1-6]_max Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
53in[1-6]_lcrit Critical minumum Voltage. VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
54in[1-6]_crit Critical maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
55in[1-6]_min_alarm Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
56in[1-6]_max_alarm Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
57in[1-6]_lcrit_alarm Voltage critical low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
58in[1-6]_crit_alarm Voltage critical high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.
59
60curr[1-6]_label "iout[1-6]".
61curr[1-6]_input Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.
62curr[1-6]_max Maximum current. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
63curr[1-6]_crit Critical maximum current. From IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
64curr[1-6]_max_alarm Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARNING status.
65curr[1-6]_crit_alarm Current critical high alarm. From IOUT_OC_FAULT status.
66
67 in6 and curr6 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
68
69temp[1-8]_input Measured temperatures. From READ_TEMPERATURE_1 register.
70 temp1 is the chip's internal temperature. temp2..temp5
71 are remote I2C temperature sensors. For MAX34441, temp6
72 is a remote thermal-diode sensor. For MAX34440, temp6..8
73 are remote I2C temperature sensors.
74temp[1-8]_max Maximum temperature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
75temp[1-8]_crit Critical high temperature. From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
76temp[1-8]_max_alarm Temperature high alarm.
77temp[1-8]_crit_alarm Temperature critical high alarm.
78
79 temp7 and temp8 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
