+debugfs features (Gen 2 ONLY)
+-----------------------------
+
+If you have debugfs enabled, two file endpoints will be created under
+`/sys/kernel/debug/pmbus/<device-id>` when you instantiate a 2nd generation
+device: `read_black_box` and `write_config`.
+
+`read_black_box` is a read-only file. When read, the driver will attempt to read
+the contents of the device's fault recording RAM segment called "Black Box". The
+RAM segment is then printed to the file as hex formatted strings. For easier
+consumption, the 128-byte segment is broken up into 32 4-byte little-endian
+lines (i.e. each line starts with the least significant byte). See your device's
+datasheet for information regarding how to parse the data.
+
+.. warning::
+ When using `write_config`, only use hex files as they are exported from the
+ Renesas Power Navigator application:
+ https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/power-management/digital-power/powernavigator.html
+
+`write_config` is a write-only file. This endpoint expects the contents of a
+configuration hex file specific to your device exactly as it is exported from
+the Renesas Power Navigator application. When this endpoint is written to, the
+driver will attempt to write the contents of the file down to one or more of the
+device's NVM slots and will return a standard error code if any part of the
+process fails. Be careful when using this feature as writing an unstable
+configuration to your device may may cause it to misbehave. Each device also has
+a fixed number of NVM writes allowed. Consult the datasheet for your device for
+more information about NVM configuration options. Finally, note that you will
+have to power cycle your device in order for NVM configuration changes to take
+effect.
