Merge branch 'disintegrate-asm-generic' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers into asm-generic
Patches from David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>: This is to complete part of the UAPI disintegration for which the preparatory patches were pulled recently. Note that there are some fixup patches which are at the base of the branch aimed at you, plus all arches get the asm-generic branch merged in too. * 'disintegrate-asm-generic' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers: UAPI: (Scripted) Disintegrate include/asm-generic UAPI: Fix conditional header installation handling (notably kvm_para.h on m68k) c6x: remove c6x signal.h UAPI: Split compound conditionals containing __KERNEL__ in Arm64 UAPI: Fix the guards on various asm/unistd.h files Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

+Kernel driver adt7410
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+ * Analog Devices ADT7410
+ Prefix: 'adt7410'
+ Addresses scanned: I2C 0x48 - 0x4B
+ Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website

+Description
+-----------
+
+The ADT7410 is a temperature sensor with rated temperature range of -55°C to
++150°C. It has a high accuracy of +/-0.5°C and can be operated at a resolution
+of 13 bits (0.0625°C) or 16 bits (0.0078°C). The sensor provides an INT pin to
+indicate that a minimum or maximum temperature set point has been exceeded, as
+well as a critical temperature (CT) pin to indicate that the critical
+temperature set point has been exceeded. Both pins can be set up with a common
+hysteresis of 0°C - 15°C and a fault queue, ranging from 1 to 4 events. Both
+pins can individually set to be active-low or active-high, while the whole
+device can either run in comparator mode or interrupt mode. The ADT7410
+supports continous temperature sampling, as well as sampling one temperature
+value per second or even justget one sample on demand for power saving.
+Besides, it can completely power down its ADC, if power management is
+required.
+
+Configuration Notes
+-------------------
+
+Since the device uses one hysteresis value, which is an offset to minimum,
+maximum and critical temperature, it can only be set for temp#_max_hyst.
+However, temp#_min_hyst and temp#_crit_hyst show their corresponding
+hysteresis.
+The device is set to 16 bit resolution and comparator mode.
