14Description
15-----------
16
17The LTC4245 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
18from a live backplane in multiple supply systems such as CompactPCI and
19PCI Express.

22Usage Notes
23-----------
24
25This driver does not probe for LTC4245 devices, due to the fact that some
26of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will have to
27instantiate the devices explicitly.
28
29Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4245 at address 0x23
30on I2C bus #1:
31$ modprobe ltc4245
32$ echo ltc4245 0x23 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device

35Sysfs entries
36-------------
37
38The LTC4245 has built-in limits for over and under current warnings. This
39makes it very likely that the reference circuit will be used.
40
41This driver uses the values in the datasheet to change the register values
42into the values specified in the sysfs-interface document. The current readings
43rely on the sense resistors listed in Table 2: "Sense Resistor Values".

86------
87
88If you have NOT configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog
89voltages, then the in10_input and in11_input sysfs attributes will not be
90created. The driver will sample the GPIO pin that is currently connected to the
91ADC as an analog voltage, and report the value in in9_input.
92
93If you have configured the driver to sample all GPIO pins as analog voltages,
94then they will be sampled in round-robin fashion. If userspace reads too
95slowly, -EAGAIN will be returned when you read the sysfs attribute containing
96the sensor reading.
97
98The LTC4245 chip can be configured to sample all GPIO pins with two methods:
991) platform data -- see include/linux/i2c/ltc4245.h
1002) OF device tree -- add the "ltc4245,use-extra-gpios" property to each chip
101
102The default mode of operation is to sample a single GPIO pin.
