So how exactly are they enumerated for this binding?
The sensor enumeration for r0 (which I've verified) and r1 can be found at [0]. The valid cell values are identifiers for the temperature sensors.

After seeing the mapping already published, I am wondering if there is any value in duplicating the information. If there are no objections, I'll update this patch to add pointers instead.
