+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC4261/LTC4261-2 negative voltage Hot Swap controllers allow a board
+to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for LTC4261 devices, since there is no register
+which can be safely used to identify the chip. You will have to instantiate
+the devices explicitly.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4261 at address 0x10
+on I2C bus #1:
+$ modprobe ltc4261
+$ echo ltc4261 0x10 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+
+
+Sysfs entries

+
+Voltage readings provided by this driver are reported as obtained from the ADC
+registers. If a set of voltage divider resistors is installed, calculate the
+real voltage by multiplying the reported value with (R1+R2)/R2, where R1 is the
+value of the divider resistor against the measured voltage and R2 is the value
+of the divider resistor against Ground.
+
+Current reading provided by this driver is reported as obtained from the ADC
+Current Sense register. The reported value assumes that a 1 mOhm sense resistor
+is installed. If a different sense resistor is installed, calculate the real
+current by dividing the reported value by the sense resistor value in mOhm.
+
+The chip has two voltage sensors, but only one set of voltage alarm status bits.
+In many many designs, those alarms are associated with the ADIN2 sensor, due to
+the proximity of the ADIN2 pin to the OV pin. ADIN2 is, however, not available
+on all chip variants. To ensure that the alarm condition is reported to the user,
+report it with both voltage sensors.
