Subject: [PATCH 6/6] hwmon: (lm92) Update documentation
Date: Thu,  1 Aug 2024 07:49:18 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240801144918.6156-7-linux@roeck-us.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240801144918.6156-1-linux@roeck-us.net>

Update datasheet references. Replace misleading 'force parameter needed'
with 'must be instantiated explicitly'. Explain the reason for the missing
auto-detection. Mention all supported chips in Kconfig.

 Description
 -----------
 
-This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor LM92
-temperature sensor.
+This driver implements support for the National Semiconductor / Texas
+Instruments LM92 temperature sensor.
 
 Each LM92 temperature sensor supports a single temperature sensor. There are
 alarms for high, low, and critical thresholds. There's also an hysteresis to
 control the thresholds for resetting alarms.
 
-Support was added later for the LM76 and Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635,
-which are mostly compatible. They have not all been tested, so you
-may need to use the force parameter.
+The driver also supports LM76 and Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635, which are
+mostly compatible but do not have a vendor ID register and therefore must be
+instantiated explicitly.
