Merge branch 'linus' into core/urgent
Update with Linus tree so fixes for the same can be applied.

13 | Description | ||
14 | ----------- | ||
15 | |||
16 | LM95234 is an 11-bit digital temperature sensor with a 2-wire System Management | ||
17 | Bus (SMBus) interface and TrueTherm technology that can very accurately monitor | ||
18 | the temperature of four remote diodes as well as its own temperature. | ||
19 | The four remote diodes can be external devices such as microprocessors, | ||
20 | graphics processors or diode-connected 2N3904s. The LM95234's TruTherm | ||
21 | beta compensation technology allows sensing of 90 nm or 65 nm process | ||
22 | thermal diodes accurately. | ||
23 | |||
24 | All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Temperature | ||
25 | is provided within a range of -127 to +255 degrees (+127.875 degrees for | ||
26 | the internal sensor). Resolution depends on temperature input and range. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Each sensor has its own maximum limit, but the hysteresis is common to all | ||
29 | channels. The hysteresis is configurable with the tem1_max_hyst attribute and | ||
30 | affects the hysteresis on all channels. The first two external sensors also | ||
31 | have a critical limit. | ||
32 | |||
33 | The lm95234 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values. | ||
34 | It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact | ||
35 | values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return | ||
36 | 'old' values. | ||
