Ok. I rewrote the patch to support standard (9bit) and enhanced (12bit)
accuracy via the "temp" entry. The "raw" interface is also gone.
There are some quirks needed for the sensors app. It seems that
prog/sensors/chips.c fixes the output to %+3.1f
Thats not good for 12bit mode which gives you 2 decimals and therefor
wrong scaling.
Precision is .062 with 12bit (4 decimal bits) instead of .5 with 9bit (1
decimal bit). That way 2 decimals seem a natural choice.
On the other hand I see no obvious reason not to fix decimals to 1...
I'm lost there -- suggestions anyone?
Another problem is that 12bit is slow and laggy. I don't recommend making
it the default mode.

Leave the files there for now.
Remove old installed sensors.o in kernel/Module.mk.
sensors.c was moved to i2c-proc.c in the i2c package.
i2c-isa.h was appended to i2c.h in the i2c package.
Delete all but the SYSCTL and ALARMS definitions in sensors.h,
as the rest of the file was moved to i2c-proc.h in the i2c package.
Remove #include "i2c-isa.h" lines in all chip drivers and
in bus driver i2c-isa.c.
This all probably breaks mkpatch.
