hwmon: (max34440) Add driver documentation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
MAX34440 and MAX34441 have their own driver, thus there should be explicit
documentation instead of mentioning the chips in the generic PMBus driver
documentation.

Description
-----------

This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX34440 PMBus 6-Channel
Power-Supply Manager and MAX34441 PMBus 5-Channel Power-Supply Manager
and Intelligent Fan Controller.

The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.


Usage Notes
-----------

This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
details.


Platform data support
---------------------

The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.


Sysfs entries
-------------

The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
attributes are read-only.

in[1-6]_label "vout[1-6]".
in[1-6]_input Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
in[1-6]_min Minumum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_max Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_lcrit Critical minumum Voltage. VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_crit Critical maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_min_alarm Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
in[1-6]_max_alarm Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
in[1-6]_lcrit_alarm Voltage critical low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
in[1-6]_crit_alarm Voltage critical high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.

curr[1-6]_label "iout[1-6]".
curr[1-6]_input Measured current. From READ_IOUT register.
curr[1-6]_max Maximum current. From IOUT_OC_WARN_LIMIT register.
curr[1-6]_crit Critical maximum current. From IOUT_OC_FAULT_LIMIT register.
curr[1-6]_max_alarm Current high alarm. From IOUT_OC_WARNING status.
curr[1-6]_crit_alarm Current critical high alarm. From IOUT_OC_FAULT status.

in6 and curr6 attributes only exist for MAX34440.

temp[1-8]_input Measured temperatures. From READ_TEMPERATURE_1 register.
temp1 is the chip's internal temperature. temp2..temp5
are remote I2C temperature sensors. For MAX34441, temp6
is a remote thermal-diode sensor. For MAX34440, temp6..8
are remote I2C temperature sensors.
temp[1-8]_max Maximum temperature. From OT_WARN_LIMIT register.
temp[1-8]_crit Critical high temperature. From OT_FAULT_LIMIT register.
temp[1-8]_max_alarm Temperature high alarm.
temp[1-8]_crit_alarm Temperature critical high alarm.

temp7 and temp8 attributes only exist for MAX34440.
