  52Description
  53-----------
  54
  55The Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) / Microchip EMC14xx chips
  56contain up to four temperature sensors. EMC14x2 support two sensors
  57(one internal, one external). EMC14x3 support three sensors (one internal,
  58two external), and EMC14x4 support four sensors (one internal, three
  59external).
  60
  61The chips implement three limits for each sensor: low (tempX_min), high
  62(tempX_max) and critical (tempX_crit.) The chips also implement an
  63hysteresis mechanism which applies to all limits. The relative difference
  64is stored in a single register on the chip, which means that the relative
  65difference between the limit and its hysteresis is always the same for
  66all three limits.
  67
  68This implementation detail implies the following:
  69
  70* When setting a limit, its hysteresis will automatically follow, the
  71  difference staying unchanged. For example, if the old critical limit
  72  was 80 degrees C, and the hysteresis was 75 degrees C, and you change
  73  the critical limit to 90 degrees C, then the hysteresis will
  74  automatically change to 85 degrees C.
  75* The hysteresis values can't be set independently. We decided to make
  76  only temp1_crit_hyst writable, while all other hysteresis attributes
  77  are read-only. Setting temp1_crit_hyst writes the difference between
  78  temp1_crit_hyst and temp1_crit into the chip, and the same relative
  79  hysteresis applies automatically to all other limits.
  80* The limits should be set before the hysteresis.
