Matt Campbell d9411e57dc w1: Add support for DS28EA00 sequence to w1-therm
This patch provides support for the DS28EA00 digital thermometer.

The DS28EA00 provides an additional two pins for implementing a sequence
detection algorithm.  This feature allows you to determine the physical
location of the chip in the 1-wire bus without needing pre-existing
knowledge of the bus ordering.  Support is provided through the sysfs
w1_seq file.  The file will contain a single line with an integer value
representing the device index in the bus starting at 0.

Description
-----------
w1_therm provides basic temperature conversion for ds18*20 devices, and the
ds28ea00 device.
supported family codes:
W1_THERM_DS18S20 0x10
W1_THERM_DS1822 0x22
W1_THERM_DS18B20 0x28
W1_THERM_DS1825 0x3B
W1_THERM_DS28EA00 0x42
Support is provided through the sysfs w1_slave file. Each open and
read sequence will initiate a temperature conversion then provide two
lines of ASCII output. The first line contains the nine hex bytes
read along with a calculated crc value and YES or NO if it matched.
If the crc matched the returned values are retained. The second line
displays the retained values along with a temperature in millidegrees
Centigrade after t=.
Parasite powered devices are limited to one slave performing a
temperature conversion at a time. If none of the devices are parasite
powered it would be possible to convert all the devices at the same
time and then go back to read individual sensors. That isn't
currently supported. The driver also doesn't support reduced
precision (which would also reduce the conversion time).
The module parameter strong_pullup can be set to 0 to disable the
strong pullup, 1 to enable autodetection or 2 to force strong pullup.
In case of autodetection, the driver will use the "READ POWER SUPPLY"
command to check if there are pariste powered devices on the bus.
If so, it will activate the master's strong pullup.
In case the detection of parasite devices using this command fails
(seems to be the case with some DS18S20) the strong pullup can
be force-enabled.
If the strong pullup is enabled, the master's strong pullup will be
driven when the conversion is taking place, provided the master driver
does support the strong pullup (or it falls back to a pullup
resistor). The DS18b20 temperature sensor specification lists a
maximum current draw of 1.5mA and that a 5k pullup resistor is not
sufficient. The strong pullup is designed to provide the additional
current required.
The DS28EA00 provides an additional two pins for implementing a sequence
detection algorithm. This feature allows you to determine the physical
location of the chip in the 1-wire bus without needing pre-existing
knowledge of the bus ordering. Support is provided through the sysfs
