+Kernel driver power_meter
+=========================
+
+This driver talks to ACPI 4.0 power meters.
+
+Supported systems:
+ * Any recent system with ACPI 4.0.
+ Prefix: 'power_meter'
+ Datasheet: http://acpi.info/, section 10.4.
+
+Author: Darrick J. Wong
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements sensor reading support for the power meters exposed in
+the ACPI 4.0 spec (Chapter 10.4). These devices have a simple set of
+features--a power meter that returns average power use over a configurable
+interval, an optional capping mechanism, and a couple of trip points. The
+sysfs interface conforms with the specification outlined in the "Power" section
+of Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
+
+Special Features
+----------------
+
+The power[1-*]_is_battery knob indicates if the power supply is a battery.
+Both power[1-*]_average_{min,max} must be set before the trip points will work.
+When both of them are set, an ACPI event will be broadcast on the ACPI netlink
+socket and a poll notification will be sent to the appropriate
+power[1-*]_average sysfs file.
+
+The power[1-*]_{model_number, serial_number, oem_info} fields display arbitrary
+strings that ACPI provides with the meter. The measures/ directory contains
+symlinks to the devices that this meter measures.
+
+Some computers have the ability to enforce a power cap in hardware. If this is
+the case, the power[1-*]_cap and related sysfs files will appear. When the
+average power consumption exceeds the cap, an ACPI event will be broadcast on
+the netlink event socket and a poll notification will be sent to the
+appropriate power[1-*]_alarm file to indicate that capping has begun, and the
+hardware has taken action to reduce power consumption. Most likely this will
+result in reduced performance.
+
+There are a few other ACPI notifications that can be sent by the firmware. In
+all cases the ACPI event will be broadcast on the ACPI netlink event socket as
+well as sent as a poll notification to a sysfs file. The events are as
+follows:
+
+power[1-*]_cap will be notified if the firmware changes the power cap.
+power[1-*]_interval will be notified if the firmware changes the averaging
+interval.

-Kernel driver fscher
-====================
-
-Supported chips:
- * Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip
- Prefix: 'fscher'
- Addresses scanned: I2C 0x73
-
-Authors:
- Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de> based on work

-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
-described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
-from Fujitsu-Siemens.
-
-The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
-controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
-the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
-
-The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
-auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
-(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
-
-Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
-
-Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
-can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
-the chip.
-
-Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
-
-All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
-for further calculations.
-
-
-Detailed description
---------------------
-
-Below you'll find a single line description of all the bit values. With
-this information, you're able to decode e. g. alarms, wdog, etc. To make
-use of the watchdog, you'll need to set the watchdog time and enable the
-watchdog. After that it is necessary to restart the watchdog time within
-the specified period of time, or a system reset will occur.

-Limitations
------------
-
-* Measuring fan speed
-It seems that the chip counts "ripples" (typical fans produce 2 ripples per
-rotation while VERAX fans produce 18) in a 9-bit register. This register is
-read out every second, then the ripple prescaler (2, 4 or 8) is applied and
-the result is stored in the 8 bit output register. Due to the limitation of
-the counting register to 9 bits, it is impossible to measure a VERAX fan
-properly (even with a prescaler of 8). At its maximum speed of 3500 RPM the
-fan produces 1080 ripples per second which causes the counting register to
-overflow twice, leading to only 186 RPM.
-
-* Measuring input voltages
-in2 ("battery") reports the voltage of the onboard lithium battery and not
-+3.3V from the power supply.
-
-* Undocumented features
-Fujitsu-Siemens Computers has not documented all features of the chip so
-far. Their software, System Guard, shows that there are a still some
-features which cannot be controlled by this implementation.
