+Description
+-----------
+
+The LTC4215 controller allows a board to be safely inserted and removed
+from a live backplane.
+
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+This driver does not probe for LTC4215 devices, due to the fact that some
+of the possible addresses are unfriendly to probing. You will need to use
+the "force" parameter to tell the driver where to find the device.
+
+Example: the following will load the driver for an LTC4215 at address 0x44
+on I2C bus #0:
+$ modprobe ltc4215 force=0,0x44
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+The LTC4215 has built-in limits for overvoltage, undervoltage, and
+undercurrent warnings. This makes it very likely that the reference
+circuit will be used.
