Guenter Roeck e3333e572f hwmon: Update my e-mail address in driver documentation
Most of the hwmon driver documentation still listed my old invalid e-mail
address. Fix it.

Description
-----------
This driver supports hardware montoring for Maxim MAX34440 PMBus 6-Channel
Power-Supply Manager, MAX34441 PMBus 5-Channel Power-Supply Manager
and Intelligent Fan Controller, and MAX34446 PMBus Power-Supply Data Logger.
It also supports the MAX34460 and MAX34461 PMBus Voltage Monitor & Sequencers.
The MAX34460 supports 12 voltage channels, and the MAX34461 supports 16 voltage
channels.
The driver is a client driver to the core PMBus driver. Please see
Documentation/hwmon/pmbus for details on PMBus client drivers.
Usage Notes
-----------
This driver does not auto-detect devices. You will have to instantiate the
devices explicitly. Please see Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for
details.
For MAX34446, the value of the currX_crit attribute determines if current or
voltage measurement is enabled for a given channel. Voltage measurement is
enabled if currX_crit is set to 0; current measurement is enabled if the
attribute is set to a positive value. Power measurement is only enabled if
channel 1 (3) is configured for voltage measurement, and channel 2 (4) is
configured for current measurement.
Platform data support
---------------------
The driver supports standard PMBus driver platform data.
Sysfs entries
-------------
The following attributes are supported. Limits are read-write; all other
attributes are read-only.
in[1-6]_label "vout[1-6]".
in[1-6]_input Measured voltage. From READ_VOUT register.
in[1-6]_min Minimum Voltage. From VOUT_UV_WARN_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_max Maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_WARN_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_lcrit Critical minimum Voltage. VOUT_UV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_crit Critical maximum voltage. From VOUT_OV_FAULT_LIMIT register.
in[1-6]_min_alarm Voltage low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_WARNING status.
in[1-6]_max_alarm Voltage high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_WARNING status.
in[1-6]_lcrit_alarm Voltage critical low alarm. From VOLTAGE_UV_FAULT status.
in[1-6]_crit_alarm Voltage critical high alarm. From VOLTAGE_OV_FAULT status.
