+Kernel driver ntc_thermistor
+=================
+
+Supported thermistors:
+* Murata NTC Thermistors NCP15WB473, NCP18WB473, NCP21WB473, NCP03WB473, NCP15WL333
+  Prefixes: 'ncp15wb473', 'ncp18wb473', 'ncp21wb473', 'ncp03wb473', 'ncp15wl333'
+  Datasheet: Publicly available at Murata
+
+Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
+tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The NTC thermistor is a simple thermistor that requires users to provide the
+resistance and lookup the corresponding compensation table to get the
+temperature input.
+
+The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
+and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
+
+The four circuit models provided are:
+
+	$: resister, [TH]: the thermistor

+ 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0
+
+   [pullup_uV]
+       |    |
+      [TH]  $ (pullup_ohm)
+       |    |
+       +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
+       |
+       $ (pulldown_ohm)
+       |
+      --- (ground)
+
+ 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
+
+   [pullup_uV]

+      [TH]
+       |
+       +----------------------------[read_uV]
+       |
+       $ (pulldown_ohm)
+       |
+      --- (ground)
+
+ 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0
+
+   [pullup_uV]
+       |
+       $ (pullup_ohm)
+       |
+       +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
+       |    |
+      [TH]  $ (pulldown_ohm)
+       |    |
+      -------- (ground)
+
+ 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
+
+   [pullup_uV]
+       |
+       $ (pullup_ohm)
+       |
+       +----------------------------[read_uV]
+       |
+      [TH]
+       |
+      --- (ground)
+
+When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
+pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
+are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
+provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
