You will have to instantiate the devices explicitly. + +Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC2978 at address 0x60 +on I2C bus #1: +$ modprobe pmbus +$ echo ltc2978 0x60 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device + + +Sysfs entries +------------- + +When probing the chip, the driver identifies which PMBus registers are +supported, and determines available sensors from this information. +Attribute files only exist if respective sensors are suported by the chip. +Labels are provided to inform the user about the sensor associated with +a given sysfs entry. + +The following attributes are supported.
