Applied to hwmon-next, after updating the commit description.
I also removed the text "This attribute can be used as per-sensor or
per-sub-group attribute depending on what is supported by the hardware."
from the attribute descriptions; this is an implementation detail
which should be described in driver documentations.

Thanks,
Guenter
