-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.
