Description

This driver supports hardware monitoring for Analog Devices LTC4286 and LTC4287 Hot-Swap Controller and Digital Power Monitors.

LTC4286 and LTC4287 are hot-swap controllers that allow a circuit board to be removed from or inserted into a live backplane. They also feature current and voltage readback via an integrated 12 bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), accessed using a PMBus interface.

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

The shunt value in micro-ohms can be set via device tree at compile-time. Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/lltc,ltc4286.yaml for bindings if the device tree is used.

Platform data support

The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data. Please see Documentation/hwmon/pmbus.rst for details.
