Thanks.

I would use register 0x16, which doesn't exist but reads 0x00 on the
TMP451. It could in theory also read 0x00 on the TMP461 but only if
both channels are disabled, which makes little sense. More likely at
least one channel will be enabled so you'll have value 0x01-0x03 if
this is a TMP461.
