The LM83 is a digital temperature sensor. It senses its own temperature as

Using the adm1021 driver for a LM83 should work, but only two temperatures
will be reported instead of four.

The driver has been successfully tested by Magnus Forsström, who I'd
like to thank here. More testers will be of course welcome.
