I ordered an evaluation board from TI to be able to test improved support
for TMP461 in the lm90 driver (actual chips are all but impossible to get,
unless I am willing to wait for 9+ months). There are still some issues
with negative temperatures in standard mode and, as you noticed, with
resolution. I do have a board with TMP451 (which doesn't support negative
temperatures in standard mode), but that doesn't help with the TMP461
specifics. I'll keep you posted.
