18Description
19-----------
20
21This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX1668, MAX1805 and MAX1989
22chips.
23
24The three devices are very similar, but the MAX1805 has a reduced feature
25set; only two remote temperature inputs vs the four available on the other
26two ICs.
27
28The driver is able to distinguish between the devices and creates sysfs
29entries as follows:

34temp1_input     ro local (ambient) temperature
35temp1_max       rw local temperature maximum threshold for alarm
