14	Description
15	-----------
16	
17	The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
18	from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
19	PCI Express.
20	
21	
22	Usage Notes
23	-----------
24	
25	This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
26	of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
27	instantiate the devices explicitly.
28	
29	Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
30	on I2C bus #1:
31	$ modprobe ltc4245
32	$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
33	
34	
35	Sysfs entries
36	-------------
37	
38	The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
39	makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
40	
41	This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
42	into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
43	rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

85	Note 1
86	------
87	
88	If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog
89	voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be
90	created. The driver will sample the GPIO pin that is currently connected to the
91	ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input.
92	
93	If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages,
94	then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too
95	slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing
96	the sensor reading.
97	
98	The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods:
99	1) platform data -- see include/linux/platform_data/ltc4245.h
100	2) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip
101	
102	The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin.
