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

- LTC2974 and LTC2975 are quad digital power supply managers.
- LTC2978 is an octal power supply monitor.
- LTC2977 is a pin compatible replacement for LTC2978.
- LTC2980 is a 16-channel Power System Manager, consisting of two LTC2977
- in a single die. The chip is instantiated and reported as two separate chips
- on two different I2C bus addresses.
- LTC3880, LTC3882, LTC3886, and LTC3887 are dual output poly-phase step-down
- DC/DC controllers.
- LTC3883 is a single phase step-down DC/DC controller.
- LTM2987 is a 16-channel Power System Manager with two LTC2977 plus
- additional components on a single die. The chip is instantiated and reported
- as two separate chips on two different I2C bus addresses.
- LTM4675 is a dual 9A or single 18A μModule regulator
- LTM4676 is a dual 13A or single 26A uModule regulator.
- LTM4686 is a dual 10A or single 20A uModule regulator.


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

This driver does not probe for PMBus devices. You will have to instantiate
devices explicitly.

Example: the following commands will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address
0x60 on I2C bus #1::

	# modprobe ltc2978
	# echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
