I could not find a naming convention, so I will try to abstract one from all the
HWMON driver that have your name in them. I noted when searching that
I missed out a file in also that Documentation/hwmon. I will correct both
issues in my next submission attempt.

As far as I can see both devicetreee and platform data allow configuration
data to be passed into the driver at "probe" time, they don't allow an operating
mode to be changed dynamically. That is what I thought sysfs allowed. Thus
your comments seem to imply that you do not want to allow the mode to be
changed dynamically. If that is the case then I can remove the dynamic mode
setting, leaving it fixed by platform data.

Thanks,
Tony Olech
