tristate "National Semiconductor LM75 and compatibles"

help
- If you say yes here you get support for National Semiconductor LM75
- sensor chips and clones: Dallas Semiconductor DS75 and DS1775 (in
- 9-bit precision mode), and TelCom (now Microchip) TCN75.
-
- The DS75 and DS1775 in 10- to 12-bit precision modes will require
- a force module parameter. The driver will not handle the extra
- precision anyhow.
+ If you say yes here you get support for one common type of
+ temperature sensor chip, with models including:
+
+ - Dallas Semiconductor DS75 and DS1775
+ - Maxim MAX6625 and MAX6626
+ - Microchip MCP980x
+ - National Semiconductor LM75
+ - NXP's LM75A
+ - ST Microelectronics STDS75
+ - TelCom (now Microchip) TCN75
+ - Texas Instruments TMP100, TMP101, TMP75, TMP175, TMP275
+
+ Most of these chips will require a "force" module parameter.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called lm75.
