-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for the Sensirion SHT3x-DIS chip, a humidity
-and temperature sensor. Temperature is measured in degrees celsius, relative
-humidity is expressed as a percentage. In the sysfs interface, all values are
-scaled by 1000, i.e. the value for 31.5 degrees celsius is 31500.
-
-The device communicates with the I2C protocol. Sensors can have the I2C
-addresses 0x44 or 0x45, depending on the wiring. See
-Documentation/i2c/instantiating-devices for methods to instantiate the device.
-
-There are two options configurable by means of sht3x_platform_data:
-1. blocking (pull the I2C clock line down while performing the measurement) or
- non-blocking mode. Blocking mode will guarantee the fastest result but
- the I2C bus will be busy during that time. By default, non-blocking mode
- is used. Make sure clock-stretching works properly on your device if you
- want to use blocking mode.
-2. high or low accuracy. High accuracy is used by default and using it is
- strongly recommended.
-
-The sht3x sensor supports a single shot mode as well as 5 periodic measure
-modes, which can be controlled with the update_interval sysfs interface.
-The allowed update_interval in milliseconds are as follows:
- * 0 single shot mode
- * 2000 0.5 Hz periodic measurement
- * 1000 1 Hz periodic measurement
- * 500 2 Hz periodic measurement
- * 250 4 Hz periodic measurement
- * 100 10 Hz periodic measurement
-
-In the periodic measure mode, the sensor automatically triggers a measurement
-with the configured update interval on the chip. When a temperature or humidity
-reading exceeds the configured limits, the alert attribute is set to 1 and
-the alert pin on the sensor is set to high.
-When the temperature and humidity readings move back between the hysteresis
-values, the alert bit is set to 0 and the alert pin on the sensor is set to
-low.

-update_interval: update interval, 0 for single shot, interval in msec
- for periodic measurement. If the interval is not supported
- by the sensor, the next faster interval is chosen
