Damn. Where were you a year ago when I first introduced this? ;)

And if it is really supposed to be generic, would temp at 48 be a
better name since this is basically a generic temperature chip?

Now that the i2c driver is a full of platform driver, I think I
can change the name with no repercussions. So I can live with whatever
decision is made. Can't do anything about the systems that are out in
the field though....

Cheers,
