37Description
38-----------
39
40This driver supports hardware montoring for Intersil / Zilker Labs ZL6100 and
41compatible digital DC-DC controllers.
42
43The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
44Documentation/hwmon/pmbus and Documentation.hwmon/pmbus-core for details
45on PMBus client drivers.

48Usage Notes
49-----------
50
51This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
52devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
53details.
54
55WARNING: Do not access chip registers using the i2cdump command, and do not use
56any of the i2ctools commands on a command register used to save and restore
57configuration data (0x11, 0x12, 0x15, 0x16, and 0xf4). The chips supported by
58this driver interpret any access to those command registers (including read
59commands) as request to execute the command in question. Unless write accesses
60to those registers are protected, this may result in power loss, board resets,
61and/or Flash corruption. Worst case, your board may turn into a brick.

64Platform data support
65---------------------
66
67The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
68
69
70Module parameters
71-----------------
72
73delay
74-----
75
76Some Intersil/Zilker Labs DC-DC controllers require a minimum interval between
77I2C bus accesses. According to Intersil, the minimum interval is 2 ms, though
781 ms appears to be sufficient and has not caused any problems in testing.
79The problem is known to affect ZL6100, ZL2105, and ZL2008. It is known not to
80affect ZL2004 and ZL6105. The driver automatically sets the interval to 1 ms
81except for ZL2004 and ZL6105. To enable manual override, the driver provides a
82writeable module parameter, 'delay', which can be used to set the interval to
83a value between 0 and 65,535 microseconds.
