The module parameter strong_pullup can be set to 0 to disable the

strong pullup or 1 to enable. If enabled the 5V strong pullup will be

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

maximum current draw of 1.5mA and that a 5k pullup resistor is not
