It was 'content crc' previously, and probably a good idea would be to add just 
one file with 'content'

What is that?
w1 always had a sysfs files for its contents whether it is converted 
temperature or raw bytes data,
there is also netlink interface which is there since the day one.

You kind of writing to device about how to convert its raw content into 
readable content, which will eventually become a temperature
