+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports hardware montoring for Intersil / Zilker Labs ZL6100 and
+compatible digital DC-DC controllers.
+
+The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
+Documentation/hwmon/pmbus and Documentation.hwmon/pmbus-core 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.
+
+WARNING: Do not access chip registers using the i2cdump command, and do not use
+any of the i2ctools commands on a command register used to save and restore
+configuration data (0x11, 0x12, 0x15, 0x16, and 0xf4). The chips supported by
+this driver interpret any access to those command registers (including read
+commands) as request to execute the command in question. Unless write accesses
+to those registers are protected, this may result in power loss, board resets,
+and/or Flash corruption. Worst case, your board may turn into a brick.
+
+
+Platform data support
+---------------------
+
+The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
+
+
+Module parameters
+-----------------
+
+delay
+-----
+
+Some Intersil/Zilker Labs DC-DC controllers require a minimum interval between
+I2C bus accesses. According to Intersil, the minimum interval is 2 ms, though
+1 ms appears to be sufficient and has not caused any problems in testing.
+The problem is known to affect ZL6100, ZL2105, and ZL2008. It is known not to
+affect ZL2004 and ZL6105. The driver automatically sets the interval to 1 ms
+except for ZL2004 and ZL6105. To enable manual override, the driver provides a
+writeable module parameter, 'delay', which can be used to set the interval to
+a value between 0 and 65,535 microseconds.
