+SMBus Alert Support
+-------------------
+
+This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received,
+the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged.
+
+The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032 and ADT7461) do not implement the SMBus
+alert protocol properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is
+disabled when an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm
+is gone. Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus
+as long as the alarm is active.
