+Kernel driver w1_ds2413
+=======================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Maxim DS2413 1-Wire Dual Channel Addressable Switch
+
+supported family codes:
+ W1_FAMILY_DS2413 0x3A
+
+Author: Mariusz Bialonczyk <manio@skyboo.net>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The DS2413 chip has two open-drain outputs (PIO A and PIO B).
+Support is provided through the sysfs files "output" and "state".
+
+Reading state
+-------------
+The "state" file provides one-byte value which is in the same format as for
+the chip PIO_ACCESS_READ command (refer the datasheet for details):
+
+Bit 0: PIOA Pin State
+Bit 1: PIOA Output Latch State
+Bit 2: PIOB Pin State
+Bit 3: PIOB Output Latch State
+Bit 4-7: Complement of Bit 3 to Bit 0 (verified by the kernel module)
+
+This file is readonly.
+
+Writing output
+--------------
+You can set the PIO pins using the "output" file.
+It is writable, you can write one-byte value to this sysfs file.
+Similarly the byte format is the same as for the PIO_ACCESS_WRITE command:
+
+Bit 0: PIOA
+Bit 1: PIOB
+Bit 2-7: No matter (driver will set it to "1"s)
+
+
+The chip has some kind of basic protection against transmission errors.
+When reading the state, there is a four complement bits.
+The driver is checking this complement, and when it is wrong then it is
+returning I/O error.
+
+When writing output, the master must repeat the PIO Output Data byte in
+its inverted form and it is waiting for a confirmation.
+If the write is unsuccessful for three times, the write also returns
+I/O error.

+Kernel driver w1_ds2438
+=======================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Maxim DS2438 Smart Battery Monitor
+
+supported family codes:
+ W1_FAMILY_DS2438 0x26
+
+Author: Mariusz Bialonczyk <manio@skyboo.net>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The DS2438 chip provides several functions that are desirable to carry in
+a battery pack. It also has a 40 bytes of nonvolatile EEPROM.
+Because the ability of temperature, current and voltage measurement, the chip
+is also often used in weather stations and applications such as: rain gauge,
+wind speed/direction measuring, humidity sensing, etc.
+
+Current support is provided through the following sysfs files (all files
+except "iad" are readonly):
+
+"iad"
+-----
+This file controls the 'Current A/D Control Bit' (IAD) in the
+Status/Configuration Register.
+Writing a zero value will clear the IAD bit and disables the current
+measurements.
+Writing value "1" is setting the IAD bit (enables the measurements).
+The IAD bit is enabled by default in the DS2438.
+
+When writing to sysfs file bits 2-7 are ignored, so it's safe to write ASCII.
+An I/O error is returned when there is a problem setting the new value.
+
+"page0"
+-------
+This file provides full 8 bytes of the chip Page 0 (00h).
+This page contains the most frequently accessed information of the DS2438.
+Internally when this file is read, the additional CRC byte is also obtained
+from the slave device. If it is correct, the 8 bytes page data are passed
+to userspace, otherwise an I/O error is returned.
+
+"temperature"
+-------------
+Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_T (temperature conversion)
+command of the chip, afterwards the temperature is read from the device
+registers and provided as an ASCII decimal value.
+
+Important: The returned value has to be divided by 256 to get a real
+temperature in degrees Celsius.
+
+"vad", "vdd"
+------------
+Opening and reading this file initiates the CONVERT_V (voltage conversion)
+command of the chip.
+
+Depending on a sysfs filename a different input for the A/D will be selected:
+vad: general purpose A/D input (VAD)
+vdd: battery input (VDD)
+
+After the voltage conversion the value is returned as decimal ASCII.
+Note: The value is in mV, so to get a volts the value has to be divided by 10.
