What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name
Description:
		The chip name.
		This should be a short, lowercase string, not containing
		whitespace, dashes, or the wildcard character '*'.
		This attribute represents the chip name. It is the only
		mandatory attribute.
		I2C devices get this attribute created automatically.

		RO

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/label
Description:
		A descriptive label that allows to uniquely identify a
		device within the system.
		The contents of the label are free-form.

		RO

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/update_interval
Description:
		The interval at which the chip will update readings.
		Unit: millisecond

		RW

		Some devices have a variable update rate or interval.
		This attribute can be used to change it to the desired value.

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_min
Description:
		Voltage min value.

		Unit: millivolt

		RW

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_lcrit
Description:
		Voltage critical min value.

		Unit: millivolt

		RW

		If voltage drops to or below this limit, the system may
		take drastic action such as power down or reset. At the very
		least, it should report a fault.

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_max
Description:
		Voltage max value.

		Unit: millivolt

		RW

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_crit
Description:
		Voltage critical max value.

		Unit: millivolt

		RW

		If voltage reaches or exceeds this limit, the system may
		take drastic action such as power down or reset. At the very
		least, it should report a fault.

What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_input
Description:
		Voltage input value.

		Unit: millivolt

		RO

		Voltage measured on the chip pin.

		Actual voltage depends on the scaling resistors on the
		motherboard, as recommended in the chip datasheet.

		This varies by chip and by motherboard.
		Because of this variation, values are generally NOT scaled
		by the chip driver, and must be done by the application.
		However, some drivers (notably lm87 and via686a)
		do scale, because of internal resistors built into a chip.
		These drivers will output the actual voltage. Rule of
		thumb: drivers should report the voltage values at the
		"pins" of the chip.

		thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses
		per fan revolution.
