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

This driver supports hardware monitoring for Maxim MAX8688 Digital Power-Supply
Controller/Monitor with 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.
