+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
+from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
+PCI Express.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
+of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
+the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
+on I2C bus #1:
+$ modprobe ltc4245 force=1,0x23
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
+makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
+
+This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
+into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
+rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".
