This converts the NTC thermistor DT bindings to YAML. Some care had to
be taken since I had to add some illustrations to make the connection
layouts graspable.

+description: |
+  Thermistors with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) are resistors that
+  vary in resistance in an often non-linear way in relation to temperature.
+  The negative temperature coefficient means that the resistance decreases
+  as the temperature rises. Since the relationship between resistance and
+  temperature is non-linear, software drivers most often need to use a look
+  up table and interpolation to get from resistance to temperature.
+
+  When used in practice, a thermistor is often connected between ground, a
+  pull-up resistor or/and a pull-down resistor and a fixed voltage like this:
+
+      + e.g. 5V = pull-up voltage (puv)
+      |
+     +-+
+     | |
+     | | Pull-up resistor
+     | | (puo)
+     +-+
+      |-------------------------o
+     +-+ |                      ^
+     | |/                       |
+     | /                        |
+     |/| Thermistor             | Measured voltage (mv)
+     / |                        | "connected ground"
+    /| |                        |
+     +-+                        |
+      |-------------------------o
+     +-+                        ^
+     | |                        |
+     | | Pull-down resistor     | Measured voltage (mv)
+     | | (pdo)                  | "connected positive"
+     +-+                        |
+      |                         |
+      |                         v
+      + GND                     GND
+
+  The arrangements of where we measure the voltage over the thermistor are
+  called "connected ground" and "connected positive" and shall be understood as
+  the cases when either pull-up or pull-down resistance is zero.
+
+  If the pull-up resistance is 0 one end of the thermistor is connected to the
+  positive voltage and we get the thermistor on top of a pull-down resistor
+  and we take the measure between the thermistor and the pull-down resistor.
+
+  Conversely if the pull-down resistance is zero, one end of the thermistor is
+  connected to ground and we get the thermistor under the pull-up resistor
+  and we take the measure between the pull-up resistor and the thermistor.
+
+  We can use both pull-up and pull-down resistors at the same time, and then
+  the figure illustrates where the voltage will be measured for the "connected
+  ground" and "connected positive" cases.
