+Kernel driver ltc2978
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+  * Linear Technology LTC2978
+    Prefix: 'ltc2978'
+    Addresses scanned: -
+    Datasheet: http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/2978fa.pdf
+  * Linear Technology LTC3880
+    Prefix: 'ltc3880'

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC2978 is an octal power supply monitor, supervisor, sequencer and
+margin controller. The LTC3880 is a dual, PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous
+step-down switching regulator controller.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
+devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following commands will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address
+0x60 on I2C bus #1:
+
+# modprobe ltc2978
+# echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device

+                        On LTC3880, temp1 and temp2 report external
+                        temperatures, and temp3 reports the internal
