+
+See also Documentation/hwmon/abx500. This is the ST-Ericsson AB8500 specific
+driver.
+
+Currently only the AB8500 internal sensor and one external sensor for battery
+temperature are monitored. Other GPADC channels can also be monitored if needed
+in future.

+Kernel driver abx500
+====================
+
+Supported chips:

+Description
+-----------
+
+Every ST-Ericsson Ux500 SOC consists of both ABx500 and DBx500 physically,
+this is kernel hwmon driver for ABx500.
+
+There are some GPADCs inside ABx500 which are designed for connecting to
+thermal sensors, and there is also a thermal sensor inside ABx500 too, which
+raises interrupt when critical temperature reached.
+
+This abx500 is a common layer which can monitor all of the sensors, every
+specific abx500 chip has its special configurations in its own file, e.g. some
+sensors can be configured invisible if they are not available on that chip, and
+the corresponding gpadc_addr should be set to 0, thus this sensor won't be
+polled.
