+Phosphor OpenBMC and IIO devices
+
+Phosphor OpenBMC currently does not provide an IIO device to DBUS bridge in the
+same way that hwmon devices are bridged by the phosphor-hwmon-readd application.
+
+Until a daemon can be written, the hwmon-iio bridge driver can be used with
+the phosphor-hwmon-readd application, with the limitation that only a single
+iio channel can be configured per iio-hwmon platform instance.  Typically
+device trees are setup with all the iio-channels under a single iio-hwmon
+platform device - doing this will result in undefined behavior from
+phosphor-hwmon-readd.
+
+If a true IIO bridging daemon becomes available in the future, phosphor-hwmon-readd
+will not support hwmon-iio bridge devices in any capacity.
