    [PATCH] lm70: New hardware monitoring driver · e1a8e913

    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.
