In order to create a hwmon interface for the IDT PCIe-switch temperature sensor the already available reader method should be improved. Particularly we need to redesign it so one would be able to read temperature/offset values from registers of the passed types. Since IDT sensor interface provides temperature in unsigned format 0:7:1 (7 bits for real value and one for fraction) we also need to have helpers for the typical sysfs temperature data type conversion to and from this format. Even though the IDT PCIe-switch provided temperature offset got the same but signed type it can be translated by these methods too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
