+Description
+-----------
+
+Versatile Express platform (http://www.arm.com/versatileexpress/) is a
+reference & prototyping system for ARM Ltd. processors. It can be set up
+from a wide range of boards, each of them containing (apart of the main
+chip/FPGA) a number of microcontrollers responsible for platform
+configuration and control. Theses microcontrollers can also monitor the
+board and its environment by a number of internal and external sensors,
+providing information about power lines voltages and currents, board
+temperature and power usage. Some of them also calculate consumed energy
+and provide a cumulative use counter.
+
+The configuration devices are _not_ memory mapped and must be accessed
+via a custom interface, abstracted by the "vexpress_config" API.
+
+As these devices are non-discoverable, they must be described in a Device
+Tree passed to the kernel. Details of the DT binding for them can be found
+in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/vexpress.txt.
