+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver supports reporting the temperature of disk and solid state
+drives with temperature sensors.
+
+If supported, it uses the ATA SCT Command Transport feature to read
+the current drive temperature and, if available, temperature limits
+as well as historic minimum and maximum temperatures. If SCT Command
+Transport is not supported, the driver uses SMART attributes to read
+the drive temperature.
+
+
+Usage Note
+----------
+
+Reading the drive temperature may reset the spin down timer on some drives.
+This has been observed with WD120EFAX drives, but may be seen with other
+drives as well. The same behavior is observed if the 'hdtemp' or 'smartd'
+tools are used to access the drive.
+With the WD120EFAX drive, reading the drive temperature using the drivetemp
+driver is still possible _after_ it transitioned to standby mode, and
+reading the drive temperature in this mode will not cause the drive to
+change its mode (meaning the drive will not spin up). It is unknown if other
+drives experience similar behavior.
+
+A known workaround for WD120EFAX drives is to read the drive temperature at
+intervals larger than twice the spin-down time. Otherwise affected drives
+will never spin down.
+
+
+Sysfs entries
+-------------
+
+Only the temp1_input attribute is always available. Other attributes are
+available only if reported by the drive. All temperatures are reported in
+milli-degrees Celsius.

+temp1_input		Current drive temperature
+temp1_lcrit		Minimum temperature limit. Operating the device below

+temp1_min		Minimum recommended continuous operating limit
+temp1_max		Maximum recommended continuous operating temperature
+temp1_crit		Maximum temperature limit. Operating the device above
+			this temperature may cause physical damage to the
+			device.
+temp1_lowest		Minimum temperature seen this power cycle
