"hwmon" is a very Linux specific term. It might make sense to find a more
generic term.

AFAIK devicetree likes to specify voltages in uV.

4096 what ?

What is a "fan temperature setpoint" ?

No idea what this is supposed to be doing, but whatever it is,
it appears to be wrong. I'll comment more on it in the hwmon driver.
