I was working on an iio driver for MCP9808 when Jonathan took notice
and suggested we have the iio or hwmon discussion.
So, where should this sensor driver reside?
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/25095A.pdf
It's a digital temp sensor with user programmable registers for
sensing applications. Supports shutdown, low power modes,
specifying of event & critical output boundaries. Can support
8 sensors on a single serial bus. Touted as 'ideal for sophisticated
multi-zone temperature-monitoring applications.'
This is debatable, looking to the datasheet this driver could reside
in both places.
Because this sensor has Industrial utility (e.g freezers, refrigerators) I
am inclined to say we should support it in IIO.
Literally every sensor has that utility.
Alternatively, you might consider adding its device ID to the jc42 driver.
If you want to be fancy, you could add optional support for resolution
selection to the driver.
