18	Description
19	-----------
20	
21	This driver implements support for Texas Instruments TMP401 and
22	TMP411 chips. These chips implements one remote and one local
23	temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees
24	Celsius. Resolution of the remote sensor is 0.0625 degree. Local
25	sensor resolution can be set to 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 or 0.0625 degree (not
26	supported by the driver so far, so using the default resolution of 0.5
27	degree).
28	
29	The driver provides the common sysfs-interface for temperatures (see
30	/Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface under Temperatures).
31	
32	The TMP411 chip is compatible with TMP401. It provides some additional
33	features.
34	
35	* Minimum and Maximum temperature measured since power-on, chip-reset
36	
37	  Exported via sysfs attributes tempX_lowest and tempX_highest.
38	
39	* Reset of historical minimum/maximum temperature measurements
40	
41	  Exported via sysfs attribute temp_reset_history. Writing 1 to this
42	  file triggers a reset.
