 From looking into the datasheet, this is a chip which will be typically
used for hardware monitoring.

0.25 Hz ... 16 Hz sampling rate. No.

Local only.

No.

It looks like the I2C part of the chip is is compatible to TMP108, so
another question would be why to implement a new driver in the first place.
