+Description
+-----------
+
+The LM75 implements one temperature sensor. Limits can be set through the
+Overtemperature Shutdown register and Hysteresis register. Each value can be
+set and read to half-degree accuracy.
+An alarm is issued (usually to a connected LM78) when the temperature
+gets higher then the Overtemperature Shutdown value; it stays on until
+the temperature falls below the Hysteresis value.
+All temperatures are in degrees Celsius, and are guaranteed within a
+range of -55 to +125 degrees.
+
+The driver caches the values for a period varying between 1 second for the
+slowest chips and 125 ms for the fastest chips; reading it more often
+will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.
+
+The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips
+on PC motherboards, to measure the temperature of the processor(s). Clones
+are now used in various embedded designs.
+
+The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
+LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,
+that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless
+they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must
+therefore be instantiated explicitly. Higher resolution up to 16-bit
+is supported by this driver, other specific enhancements are not.
+
+The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
+Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
