+Description
+-----------
+
+The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) / Microchip EMC14xx chips
+contain up to four temperature sensors. EMC14x2 support two sensors
+(one internal, one external). EMC14x3 support three sensors (one internal,
+two external), and EMC14x4 support four sensors (one internal, three
+external).
+
+The chips implement three limits for each sensor: low (tempX_min), high
+(tempX_max) and critical (tempX_crit.) The chips also implement an
+hysteresis mechanism which applies to all limits. The relative difference
+is stored in a single register on the chip, which means that the relative
+difference between the limit and its hysteresis is always the same for
+all three limits.
+
+This implementation detail implies the following:
+
+* When setting a limit, its hysteresis will automatically follow, the
+  difference staying unchanged. For example, if the old critical limit
+  was 80 degrees C, and the hysteresis was 75 degrees C, and you change
+  the critical limit to 90 degrees C, then the hysteresis will
+  automatically change to 85 degrees C.
+* The hysteresis values can't be set independently. We decided to make
+  only temp1_crit_hyst writable, while all other hysteresis attributes
+  are read-only. Setting temp1_crit_hyst writes the difference between
+  temp1_crit_hyst and temp1_crit into the chip, and the same relative
+  hysteresis applies automatically to all other limits.
+* The limits should be set before the hysteresis.
