+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acpismbus
+.Nd ACPI SMBus Control Method Interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "acpismbus* at acpi?"
+.Cd "iic* at acpismbus?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports instances of the ACPI SMBus Control Method Interface.
+This enables i2c access to bus segments which might not otherwise be
+accessible due to missing "native" driver support.
+The SMBus Process Call protocol is not supported.
+All other SMBus protocols are supported to the extent that the underlying
+controller supports them.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr acpi 4 ,
+.Xr iic 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver
+appeared in
+.Nx 6.0 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Although
+.Nm
+SMBus Alerts can be associated with individual devices, this
+capability is ignored.
+When an
+.Nm
+SMBus Alert is generated, all devices on the i2c bus segment which have
+registered an interrupt routine are notified.
+.Pp
+The SMBus CMI protocol defines a method to provide a list of devices on an
+i2c bus segment and their addresses.
+The
+.Nm
+driver makes no attempt to retrieve or process this device list.
+.Pp
+There is currently no way to determine if the i2c controller managed by
+an instance of the ACPI SMBus CMI can also be accessed using a native
+device driver.
+Therefore, the
+.Nm
+driver should not be enabled by default.
+If both a native driver and the
+.Nm
+driver attempt to access the same i2c bus segment, the results are
+undefined.
