You mean ts3000gb2 not ts300gb2. But do we really want to have 4
different prefixes for only 2 device IDs anyway?
I'm not even sure why we defined that many different prefixes in the
first place when we treat them all the same, and autodetection doesn't
even bother setting the prefix right. All these chips are
register-compatible by definition, so I really wouldn't mind dropping
all these different prefixes (which I don't think anyone is using
today) and going with "jc42" for everyone.
Other than this, patch looks good.

I replaced it with tse2002 and ts3000.

Thinking about it and looking into NetBSD code - some of the chips have
fixed sensor resolution, others have configurable resolution. In the
latter case, the NetBSD driver configures it. Before I drop the
capability to separate chips based on the prefix, it might make sense to
first determine if that is something we want or should support.
Thoughts ?

Isn't this all standardized in the capability and resolution registers,
and thus independent of the vendor and device ID?
Whether we set the resolution or not, is the same issue we have with
all other temperature sensor chips. Resolution has an impact on
measurement times and power consumption. Changing that arbitrarily in
the driver is discussable, my opinion has always been that drivers
should let the BIOS/firmware/hardware defaults alone. If anyone really
needs to change that, this should be done through platform data or a
sysfs attribute. We already have update_interval, but using it to also
control the resolution isn't necessarily smart as it isn't intuitive
and also hides the power consumption factor. I wouldn't mind
introducing a new attribute for resolution, but a number of details
will need discussion first, in particular the attribute name and unit
and whether it is global or per input.

The capability register is read-only. The resolution register is non-standard
and exists (as far as I can see) only on MCP98242/98243.

In this case it doesn't, but that may be different for other chips.

Do you know of any other chips where the resolution is configurable ?
That should probably be the deciding factor if we introduce such an attribute.
Not sure if it is worth it, though. The default resolution for the above chips
is 0.25 degrees C. That should really be good enough. I never understood why
a resolution of 0.0625 degrees C would make sense for a chip with an accuracy
of +/- 1 degree C.
Thanks,

ST Microelectronics STTS2002 and STTS3000 chips to support it as well.
Anyway, this sole difference doesn't justify having a list of a dozen
chip names. We could have a single flag HAS_RESOLUTION_REGISTER and set
it as appropriate.

I seem to recall LM75 compatible chips optionally supporting extra
resolution bits. Ah, yes, Texas Instruments' TMP75/175/275 chips, for
example.

I fully agree.

I'll send a patch shortly, removing all the IDs.
