  Description
  -----------

  LM95235 and LM95245 are 11-bit digital temperature sensors with a 2-wire System

  Management Bus (SMBus) interface and TruTherm technology that can monitor
  the temperature of a remote diode as well as its own temperature.

  The chips can be used to very accurately monitor the temperature of

  external devices such as microprocessors.
  
  All temperature values are given in millidegrees Celsius. Local temperature
  is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are
  given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on
  temperature input and range.

  Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative
  hysteresis value common to both critical limits. 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 lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values.
  It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact
  values. Reading sensor values more often will do no harm, but will return
  'old' values.
