A driver needs to learn about the OBP format used on a particular 
platform for environmental monitoring.  In the case of the T1/200 it may 
be similar enough to the existing bbc_envctrl driver (written for an 
SB1000) that you can adapt it for use on your system.  At the very 
least, you'll have to remove the bbc_present() test.

If you want temperatures available to userspace, additional 
modifications will be required as well.  I believe the current 
bbc_envctrl driver monitors, but does not export, this information.

If you are interested in doing this work I suggest you post to the 
development list ([email protected]).
