+Description
+-----------
+
+The LM90 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as
+well as the temperature of up to one external diode. It is compatible
+with many other devices, many of which are supported by this driver.
+
+The family of chips supported by this driver is derived from MAX1617.
+This chip as well as various compatible chips support a local and a remote
+temperature sensor with 8 bit accuracy. Later chips provide improved accuracy
+and other additional features such as hysteresis and temperature offset
+registers.
+
+Note that there is no easy way to differentiate between the MAX6657,
+MAX6658 and MAX6659 variants. The extra features of the MAX6659 are only
+supported by this driver if the chip is located at address 0x4d or 0x4e,
+or if the chip type is explicitly selected as max6659.
+The MAX6680 and MAX6681 only differ in their pinout, therefore they obviously
+can't (and don't need to) be distinguished.
+
+The different chipsets of the family are not strictly identical, although
+very similar. For reference, here comes a non-exhaustive list of specific
+features:
+

+ * Better external channel accuracy
+
+LM99:
+ * Same as LM89
+ * External temperature shifted by 16 degrees down

+ * 10 bit temperature resolution for external sensors
+ * Two remote sensors
+ * Selectable address (ADT7483)
+
+MAX6642:

+ * 10 bit external sensor resolution
+
+MAX6646, MAX6647, MAX6649:

+ * Extended range unsigned external temperature
+
+MAX6648, MAX6692:
+ * Better local resolution
+ * Unsigned temperature
+
+MAX6654, MAX6690:

+
+MAX6657 and MAX6658:

+ * Better local resolution
+ * Selectable address
+ * Second critical temperature limit

+
+MAX6680 and MAX6681:
+ * Selectable address
+ * Remote sensor type selection
+
+MAX6695 and MAX6696:
+ * Better local resolution
+ * Selectable address (max6696)
+ * Second critical temperature limit
+ * Two remote sensors
+
+W83L771W/G
+ * The G variant is lead-free, otherwise similar to the W.
+ * Filter and alert configuration register at 0xBF
+ * Moving average (depending on conversion rate)
+
+W83L771AWG/ASG
+ * Successor of the W83L771W/G, same features.
+ * The AWG and ASG variants only differ in package format.
+ * Diode ideality factor configuration (remote sensor) at 0xE3
+
+SA56004X:
+ * Better local resolution
+
+All temperature values are given in degrees Celsius. Resolution
+is 1.0 degree for the local temperature, 0.125 degree for the remote
+temperature, except for the MAX6654, MAX6657, MAX6658 and MAX6659 which have
+a resolution of 0.125 degree for both temperatures.
+
+Each sensor has its own high and low limits, plus a critical limit.
+Additionally, there is a relative hysteresis value common to both critical
+values. To make life easier to user-space applications, two absolute values
+are exported, one for each channel, but these values are of course linked.
+Only the local hysteresis can be set from user-space, and the same delta
+applies to the remote hysteresis.
+
+The lm90 driver will not update its values more frequently than configured with
+the update_interval attribute; reading them more often will do no harm, but will
+return 'old' values.
+
+SMBus Alert Support
+-------------------
+
+This driver has basic support for SMBus alert. When an alert is received,
+the status register is read and the faulty temperature channel is logged.
+
+The Analog Devices chips (ADM1032, ADT7461 and ADT7461A) and ON
+Semiconductor chips (NCT1008) do not implement the SMBus alert protocol
+properly so additional care is needed: the ALERT output is disabled when
+an alert is received, and is re-enabled only when the alarm is gone.
+Otherwise the chip would block alerts from other chips in the bus as long
+as the alarm is active.
+
+PEC Support
+-----------
+
+The ADM1032 is the only chip of the family which supports PEC. It does
+not support PEC on all transactions though, so some care must be taken.
+
+When reading a register value, the PEC byte is computed and sent by the
+ADM1032 chip. However, in the case of a combined transaction (SMBus Read
+Byte), the ADM1032 computes the CRC value over only the second half of
+the message rather than its entirety, because it thinks the first half
+of the message belongs to a different transaction. As a result, the CRC
+value differs from what the SMBus master expects, and all reads fail.
+
+For this reason, the lm90 driver will enable PEC for the ADM1032 only if
+the bus supports the SMBus Send Byte and Receive Byte transaction types.
+These transactions will be used to read register values, instead of
+SMBus Read Byte, and PEC will work properly.
+
+Additionally, the ADM1032 doesn't support SMBus Send Byte with PEC.
+Instead, it will try to write the PEC value to the register (because the
+SMBus Send Byte transaction with PEC is similar to a Write Byte transaction
+without PEC), which is not what we want. Thus, PEC is explicitly disabled
+on SMBus Send Byte transactions in the lm90 driver.
+
+PEC on byte data transactions represents a significant increase in bandwidth
+usage (+33% for writes, +25% for reads) in normal conditions. With the need
+to use two SMBus transaction for reads, this overhead jumps to +50%. Worse,
+two transactions will typically mean twice as much delay waiting for
+transaction completion, effectively doubling the register cache refresh time.
+I guess reliability comes at a price, but it's quite expensive this time.
+
+So, as not everyone might enjoy the slowdown, PEC is disabled by default and
+can be enabled through sysfs. Just write 1 to the "pec" file and PEC will be
+enabled. Write 0 to that file to disable PEC again.
