-This driver implements support for the Maxim 6650/6651
+This driver implements support for the Maxim MAX6650 and MAX6651.
 
-The 2 devices are very similar, but the Maxim 6550 has a reduced feature
-set, e.g. only one fan-input, instead of 4 for the 6651.
+The 2 devices are very similar, but the MAX6550 has a reduced feature
+set, e.g. only one fan-input, instead of 4 for the MAX6651.
 
 The driver is not able to distinguish between the 2 devices.
