Extra / unnecessary blank line.

This include file is missing from the patch (and it should probably be in
include/linux/i2c).

If it is defined / maintained in some other branch, at least let us know 
where to get it from. But since it contains the platform data for_this_
driver, it should be defined in this patch and not elsewhere.

'data" is defined as u8 and will never be < 0.

Should manage to specify this line w/o having to break the string in two lines.
Usage of __func__ is discouraged.

temp_value and the type cast are completely unnecessary. And the displayed
result is wrong if the selected temperature range is extended. Plus it is displayed
in degrees C instead of milli-degrees C.

Will never be < 0. Wonder why gcc doesn't complain. Or does it ?

Another unnecessary string break. Usage of __func__ is discouraged.

Why not assign to the "real" variable right away ?

So you expect to get something like -25.-13 ? Odd. Wrong anyway, since you are expected to display 
the result in milli-degrees C and the extended range offset (if configured) is not taken 
into account.

Truncates everything entered to [0..255]. 257 becomes 1. Odd. Use SENSORS_LIMIT.
The extended range would be -64 .. +191 degreec C and should be supported.

The following lines need to be mutex protected.

Storing limits in platform data ? This is really quite unusual.

Unnecessary.

Unnecessary variable. Display expected to be in milli-degrees C. Since ext_limit type
is u8, %u would be appropriate.

Use standard sysfs attributes. 

FWIW, throttling is not a chip functionality - maybe it is what
your HW implementation does if the limit is exceeded, but it is not
a chip function. Function names should not reflect what a specific 
HW using the chip does, but chip functionality. 

The chip supports low limits. The driver should support those too.
The same is true for alarms.

	Substantial context assumption here. How does the driver know
	that the irq maps to a gpio pin, and that the value read from 
	this gpio pin needs to be passed to the alarm function ?

	This is really very HW specific. Play with gpio pins in the alarm
	function itself, and just pass the irq from here.

So, say, 32 is converted to (256 - 32) = 224. Does this really make sense ?
I would say no, since the extended range starts at -64 degrees C and one would assume
that -64 should be displayed if the value is 0, not 224.

Btw, this function is never called.

Odd flag (supported_hwrev). What is the point of such a flag ? Just don't 
instantiate the device if it isn't supported. Actually, I would argue that such
a flag should not exist at all. If the chip is there, it is by definition 
supported.

Odd place to check if pdata exists.

The chip has manufacturer ID and die revision (chip revision) registers,
so there should be a _detect function, and the driver should not depend
on the existence of platform data. Instead, if platform data does not exist,
it should be assumed that the chip is already configured, and configuration data
(limits etc) should be retrieved from it.

Of course that means you should not use platform data but store/copy information
from platform data in nct1008_data instead. This is the common approach anyway.

Hard assumption that the sensor has not yet been configured. Not necessarily true.

Do you actually enable the interrupt anywhere (other than in _resume) ? 
Or is it auto-enabled ?

A generic driver should not make the assumption that there is an irq line
in the first place. The driver should also work without an irq.

Another unnecessary string break.

Race condition (the chip is already visible to userland, and chip functions
may be called in parallel). Please enable the chip before registering it.

All the worker function does is to check if the alarm function needs to be called,
and to call it if that is the case. If there is no alarm function (or no irq),
scheduling the work function is unnecessary.
