These coefficients are used to internally calibrate the signals from the +sensors. Disabling the reload of those coefficients allows saving 10ms for each +measurement and decrease power consumption, while loosing on precision. + +Some options may be set directly in the sht15_platform_data structure +or via sysfs attributes.
