This driver only updates its values each 1.5 seconds; reading it more often
will do no harm, but will return 'old' values. It is possible to make
ADM1021-clones do faster measurements, but there is really no good reason
for that.
Xeon support
------------
The Xeon support is untested.
The Xeon has only one sensor where the other devices have two.
Use 'force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS' as a modprobe parameter.
ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
The driver will report two temperatures but one will be invalid.
It is not clear if all Xeon processors have this feature.
Please report results.
