    These sensors communicate over a 2 wire bus running a device specific
    protocol.  The complexity of the driver is mainly due to handling the
    substantial delays between requesting a reading and the device pulling the
    data line low to indicate that the data is available.  This is handled by
    an interrupt that is disabled under all other conditions.
    
    I wasn't terribly clear on the best way to handle this, so comments on
    that aspect would be particularly welcome!
    
    Interpretation of the temperature depends on knowing the supply voltage.
    If configured in a board config as a regulator consumer this is obtained
    from the regulator subsystem.  If not it should be provided in the
    platform data.
    
    I've placed this driver in the hwmon subsystem as it is definitely a
    device that may be used for hardware monitoring and with it's relatively
    slow response times (up to 120 millisecs to get a reading) a caching
    strategy certainly seems to make sense!
