  19Description
  20-----------
  21
  22The LTC4260 Hot Swap controller allows a board to be safely inserted
  23and removed from a live backplane.

  26Usage Notes
  27-----------
  28
  29This driver does not probe for LTC4260 devices, since there is no register
  30which can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiate
  31the devices explicitly.
  32
  33Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4260 at address 0x10
  34on I2C bus #1::
  35
  36        $ modprobe ltc4260
  37        $ echo ltc4260 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device

  43Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADC
  44registers. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the
  45real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the
  46value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value
  47of the divider resistor against Ground.
  48
  49Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC
  50Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor
  51is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real
  52current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm.
