How does it work exactly?

Both are acceptable. Best choice depends on how intrusive it is to add
support to the lm90 driver. I suspect there won't be too much to add? I
would recommend trying it, and if we finally decide it's too intrusive,
copy the lm90 driver to a new one and clean up them both.
