+	  Support the one wire controller found in some members of the NXP
+	  i.MX SoC family.
+	  There are currently two silicon variants:
+	  V1: i.MX21, i.MX27, i.MX31, i.MX51
+	  V2: i.MX25, i.MX35, i.MX50, i.MX53
+	  Newer i.MX SoCs such as the i.MX6 do not have one wire controllers.
+
+	  The driver supports both silicon variants.
