-Notes
------
+PEC Support
+-----------
+
+When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the chip.
+
+PEC on word data transaction respresents a signifcant increase in bandwitdh
+usage (+33% for both write and reads) in normal conditions.
 
-PEC is not implemented.
+Since this operation implies there will be an extra delay to each
+transaction, PEC can be disabled or enabled through sysfs.
+Just write 1  to the "pec" file for enabling PEC and 0 for disabling it.
