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 + + +Platform data support +--------------------- + +Support for additional PMBus chips can be added by defining chip parameters in +a new chip specific driver file.
