The LM75 only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values.

-The DS75, DS1775, MAX6625, and MAX6626 are supported as well.

+The original LM75 was typically used in combination with LM78-like chips

The LM75 is essentially an industry standard; there may be other
LM75 clones not listed here, with or without various enhancements,

+that are supported. The clones are not detected by the driver, unless
+they reproduce the exact register tricks of the original LM75, and must
+therefore be instantiated explicitly. The specific enhancements (such as
+higher resolution) are not currently supported by the driver.
The LM77 is not supported, contrary to what we pretended for a long time.
Both chips are simply not compatible, value encoding differs.
