The code listed in that app note does not seem to include any bit
reversals (did I miss something?) and it works fine (the temperatures
are linear, just 20 degrees too high) on a 740 card here.

I used the code for a different reason (it seems that the board fails
right when the TAU reads between 66 and 70 degrees C) but I held off on
turning it into a kernel patch because I can see it now -- as soon as a
patch gets into the 2.2 kernel tree, people are going to start hitting
the list with questions like "why does my computer think that it's 70 C
in here?". At the very least, whoever puts the code in the kernel should
take a hint from Motorola's code and also spit out whether the value has
been calibrated or not (compile-time option? or an OF variable?
thoughts?)
