  • On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is
    likely to have locked the alarm registers. In that case, all writes
    through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored.

    To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files
    read-only.

  • The documentation lists standard numbers and chip names in excruciating
    detail, but that's all it does. To help mere mortals in deciding
    whether to enable this driver, mention what this sensor is for and in
    which systems it might be found.

    Also add a link to the actual JC 42.4 specification.
