Hi Guenter

Thanks for the quick feedback!

Ha, good point. As I understand, RTD means "Resistance Temperature
Detector". But TBH, I'm not sure how that squares with Nuvoton's use
of "LTD" for the local sensor ... sigh.

Thanks for that pointer, I now found that in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface. Given that there's no definition
for "disabled", I guess I'll just leave that out of the device tree
binding for now? That way we'll stay consistent with the sysfs ABI.

That gives us the following mapping for sysfs / device tree -> nct7802 HW:
2 (3904 transistor) -> 3 (voltage)
3 (thermal diode) -> 1 (current)
4 (thermistor) -> 2 (thermistor)

I'll update the device tree binding to be an array then. I also update
the temp_type functions to support all 3 values.

Oskar.
