driver for interpretation. This driver makes use of the kernel's in-core
SPI support.
+As a real (in-tree) example of this "SPI protocol driver" interfacing
+with a "SPI master controller driver", see drivers/spi/spi_lm70llp.c
+and its associated documentation.
+
+The TMP121/TMP123 are very similar; main differences are 4 wire SPI inter-
+face (read only) and 13-bit temperature data (0.0625 degrees celsius reso-
+lution).
