With this patch, atts 4..N can be disabled at runtime,

Normally, mode is set usefully, and attr-files
are created as normal.

Unfortunately this does not work too well if your box happen to have
2 or more different chips served by the same driver as you fiddle with
the static array of attributes shared by all device instances.


Ack, yes.  Thats become clear over on lm-sensors.
Kinda spoils the supposed generality..

thanks
