We will revise as below
       config SENSORS_LTC4286
	        bool "Analog Devices LTC4286"
            help
			  LTC4286 is an integrated solution for hot swap applications that allows 
			  a board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane.
			  This chip could be used to monitor voltage, current, ...etc.
              If you say yes here you get hardware monitoring support for Analog
              Devices LTC4286.

We will revise as below

We use this to check manufacturer model.
And we will add comparison here.
for (mid = ltc4286_id; mid->name[0]; mid++) {
if (!strncasecmp(mid->name, block_buffer, strlen(mid->name)))
	break;
