At the very least, if you are willing to confirm that formally
if/when v2 is submitted.

I previously rejected a similar patch adding emc1444 because it was
impossible to get a datasheet to confirm that the chips are really
register compatible. No idea why that has to be so secretive. It is a
temperature sensor, for heaven's sake :-(
