[lm-sensors] Intend to implement ADT7467/ADT7468 driver

[Bernhard Rieder <bernhard@ratte.dhs.org>]

Hi Everybody,

I am currently working on an ADT746[78] driver which will be finished soon.

However, I am not sure how to react to errors. Which values do I return in case
the chip reports errors (i.e. temp=-64 is an error value for the temperature reading,
-63 is ok). Are there somewhere error values defined which can used for this? I do
not think usinf -64 is a good choice, because the chip has two modes for temperature
and an error would be reported as -128 in the other mode. Additionally, -64 could be
interpreted as a real value (at least in sibiria when it is a cold winter day).

Are there somewhere constants like SENSORS_VOLTAGE_INVALID, SENSORS_TEMP_INVALID, ...
which I missed? I think common error values would be really beneficial ...

best regards,
Bernhard
