Author: Kaiwan N Billimoria <kaiwan@designergraphix.com> Description ----------- This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM70 temperature sensor. The LM70 temperature sensor chip supports a single temperature sensor. It communicates with a host processor (or microcontroller) via an SPI/Microwire Bus interface. Communication with the LM70 is simple: when the temperature is to be sensed, the driver accesses the LM70 using SPI communication: 16 SCLK cycles comprise the MOSI/MISO loop. At the end of the transfer, the 11-bit 2's complement digital temperature (sent via the SIO line), is available in the driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core SPI support. |

As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c and its associated documentation. |

The TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main differences are 4 wire SPI inter- face (read only) and 13-bit temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius reso- lution). |
