 Some chips measure temperature using external thermistors and an ADC, and
 report the temperature measurement as a voltage. Converting this voltage
 back to a temperature (or the other way around for limits) requires

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401 and
+TMP411 chips. These chips implements one remote and one local
+temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees
+Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local
+sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not
+supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5
+degree).
+
+The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
+/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).
+
+The TMP411 chip is compatible with TMP401. It provides some additional
+features.
+
+* Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset
+
+  Exported via sysfs attributes tempX_lowest and tempX_highest.
+
+* Reset of historical minimum/maximum temperature measurements
+
+  Exported via sysfs attribute temp_reset_history. Writing 1 to this
+  file triggers a reset.
