Akira Shimahara 67b392f7b8 w1_therm: optimizing temperature read timings
Optimizing temperature reading by reducing waiting conversion time
according to device resolution settings, as per device specification.
This is device dependent as not all the devices supports resolution
setting, so it has been added in device family structures.

The process to read the temperature on the device has been adapted in a
new function 'convert_t()', which replace the former 'read_therm()', is
introduce to deal with this timing. Strong pull up is also applied during
the required time, according to device power status needs and
'strong_pullup' module parameter.

'temperature_from_RAM()' function is introduced to get the correct
temperature computation (device dependent) from device RAM data.

An new sysfs entry has been added to ouptut only temperature. The old
entry w1_slave has been kept for compatibility, without changing its
output format.

Updating Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-w1_therm accordingly.

Description:
(WO) writing that file will either trigger a save of the
device data to its embedded EEPROM, either restore data
embedded in device EEPROM. Be aware that devices support
limited EEPROM writing cycles (typical 50k)
* 'save': save device RAM to EEPROM
* 'restore': restore EEPROM data in device RAM

What: /sys/bus/w1/devices/.../ext_power
Date: May 2020
Contact: Akira Shimahara <akira215corp@gmail.com>
Description:
(RO) return the power status by asking the device
* '0': device parasite powered
* '1': device externally powered
* '-xx': xx is kernel error when reading power status
Users: any user space application which wants to communicate with
w1_term device
What: /sys/bus/w1/devices/.../resolution
Date: May 2020
Contact: Akira Shimahara <akira215corp@gmail.com>
Description:
(RW) get or set the device resolution (on supported devices,
if not, this entry is not present). Note that the resolution
will be changed only in device RAM, so it will be cleared when
power is lost. Trigger a 'save' to EEPROM command to keep
values after power-on. Read or write are :
* '9..12': device resolution in bit
or resolution to set in bit
* '-xx': xx is kernel error when reading the resolution
* Anything else: do nothing

Date: May 2020
Contact: Akira Shimahara <akira215corp@gmail.com>
Description:
(RO) return the temperature in 1/1000 degC.
Note that the conversion duration depend on the resolution (if
device support this feature). It takes 94ms in 9bits
resolution, 750ms for 12bits.

Date: May 2020
Contact: Akira Shimahara <akira215corp@gmail.com>
Description:
(RW) return the temperature in 1/1000 degC.
*read*: return 2 lines with the hexa output data sent on the
bus, return the CRC check and temperature in 1/1000 degC
*write* :
* '0' : save the 2 or 3 bytes to the device EEPROM
(i.e. TH, TL and config register)
* '9..12' : set the device resolution in RAM
(if supported)
* Anything else: do nothing
