Usually, we make all prefixes start with the driver name. This is not
really necessary, as these symbols will not be exported anyway. But by
doing this, you are sure you do not shadow any global kernel names.
Remember that you want to output the direct measurements done by the
chip. If these sensor values need scaling, this should be done through
the configuration file.
* A quick note about conversions. The conversions which are specified
in the sensor chip datasheet and which *cannot* vary from one board to
the next are performed by the driver. If other conversions are
necessary, they are performed in user-space.
* Meet Kernel coding standards.
See Documentation/CodingStyle in the kernel source.
