From 7ebd8b66dd9e5a0b65e5ee5e2b8e7ca382ec97b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 06:46:29 -0300 Subject: docs: hwmon: Add an index file and rename docs to *.rst Now that all files were converted to ReST format, rename them and add an index.

This is equivalent to the current through a 1mOhm +sense resistor. Divide the reported value by the actual sense resistor value +in mOhm to get the actual value. -- cgit
