Hi Chris,

There was much less support for the sht15 back in 3.2 compared to recent
kernel releases. You may want to backport features and/or fixes to suit
your needs.

You can find a usage example for 3.2 in arch/arm/mach-pxa/stargate2.c
around line 140:

First, create a platform data struct and specify which GPIO lines are
hooked to the data and sck lines of your sht-15:
 
 static struct sht15_platform_data platform_data_sht15 = {
        .gpio_data =  100,
        .gpio_sck  =  98,
 };

Then setup a platform device referencing those platform data, that you
will have to register on the platform bus using platform_add_devices()
or equivalent:

 static struct platform_device sht15 = {
        .name = "sht15",
        .id = -1,
        .dev = {
                .platform_data = &platform_data_sht15,
        },
 };

 ...

 platform_add_devices(...);
