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

LTC2974 is a quad digital power supply manager. LTC2978 is an octal power supply
monitor. LTC2977 is a pin compatible replacement for LTC2978. LTC3880 is a dual
output poly-phase step-down DC/DC controller. LTC3883 is a single phase
step-down DC/DC controller.


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
