Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
10
tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

The NTC thermistor is a simple thermistor that requires users to provide the
19
resistance and lookup the corresponding compensation table to get the
22
The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
23
and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
25
The four circuit models provided are:
27
$: resister, [TH]: the thermistor
29
1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0
35
+----+-----------------------[read_uV]
41
2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
47
+----------------------------[read_uV]
53
3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0
59
+----+-----------------------[read_uV]
65
4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
71
+----------------------------[read_uV]
77
When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
78
pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
79
are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
80
provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
84
name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name.
86
temp1_type always 4 (thermistor)
89
temp1_input measure the temperature and provide the measured value.
90
(reading this file initiates the reading procedure.)

Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists.
