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

This driver supports hardware monitoring for Analog Devices MAX20860A
Step-Down Switching Regulator with PMBus Interface.

The MAX20860A is a fully integrated step-down DC-DC switching regulator.
Through the PMBus interface, the device can monitor input/output voltages,
output current and temperature.

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.

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
