15	Description
16	-----------
17	
18	The DS620 is a (one instance) digital thermometer and thermostat. It has both
19	high and low temperature limits which can be user defined (i.e.  programmed
20	into non-volatile on-chip registers). Temperature range is -55 degree Celsius
21	to +125. Between 0 and 70 degree Celsius, accuracy is 0.5 Kelvin. The value
22	returned via sysfs displays post decimal positions.
23	
24	The thermostat function works as follows: When configured via platform_data
25	(struct ds620_platform_data) .pomode == 0 (default), the thermostat output pin
26	PO is always low. If .pomode == 1, the thermostat is in PO_LOW mode. I.e., the
27	output pin PO becomes active when the temperature falls below temp1_min and
28	stays active until the temperature goes above temp1_max.
29	
30	Likewise, with .pomode == 2, the thermostat is in PO_HIGH mode. I.e., the PO
31	output pin becomes active when the temperature goes above temp1_max and stays
32	active until the temperature falls below temp1_min.
33	
34	The PO output pin of the DS620 operates active-low.
