We added a sysfs ABI for getting/setting the type of a thermocouple. This driver supports chips that support specific fixed thermocouple types; we cannot set it, but still we can add this sysfs attribute in RO mode to read-back the thermocouple type. This driver supports actually several chips: - max6675 - max31855[k/j/n/s/t/e/r]asa family Max6675 supports only K-type thermocouples, so we can just report that. Each chip in max31855 family supports just one specific thermocouple type (in the obvious way: i.e. max31855jasa supports J-type). This driver did accept a generic SPI ID and OF compatible "max31855" which does not give any clue about which chip is really involved (and unfortunately it seems we have no way to detect it). This patch introduces a new set of, more specific, SPI IDs and OF compatible strings to better match the chip type. The old, generic, "max31855" binding is kept for compatibility reasons, but this patch aims to deprecate it, so, should we hit it, a warning is spit. In such case the reported thermocouple type in sysfs is '?', because we have no way to know. Regarding the implementation: the thermocouple type information is stored in the driver private data and I've kept only two maxim_thermocouple_chip types in order to avoid a lot of duplications (seven chip types with just a different thermocouple type). RFT because I have no real HW to test this.

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.
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.
