Unfortunately, this does not include a list of the registers and their 
definitions.  Without which a driver is much more difficult to write.

What would be more helpful would be a full datasheet.

 From the "Data Brief," it isn't clear if this chip is compatible with 
the EMC6D100 or EMC6D102 which *are* supported by the lm85 driver.  It's 
got too more temperature inputs...  You might try forcing the lm85 
driver to grab the emc6w201 (if you can figure out what address it's at 
using i2cdump).

:v)
