Ok fine Jean ,I understand the point you made dts file. But I don't know about using the sensors to read temperature value. Is it some registers needed to read from LM73 chip or simply the entries in /sysfs/class/hwmon ? I am just looking to know the basic implementation of using "sensors" to read temperature .
