    I agree.

    Huh? I said:

    temp_max[1-3] Temperature max value.
    Fixed point value in form XXXXX and should be divided by
    100 to get degrees Celsius.
    Read/Write value.

    Where is the ability to use a different scale from different drivers in
    that?

    Anyway, it sounds like we are agreeing here, so I guess I'll go and
    write up the whole document in the new style and post it for comments.

    thanks,
