I am not in favor of such indirect settings. If a channel is
to be disconnected, define a property for it.

I am personally also not in favor of using devicetree to define
channel names like this, much less so for a single driver.

So if there are no devicetree entries, the user now gets a sequence of
"unknown" sensors ? I don't think so. Please keep in mind that there are
users of this chip who don't have devicetree systems, and other users
may not want to specify any specific name properties (or they use sensors3.conf
to do it).

Sorry, I won't accept this. I am sure we can come up with some useful means
to define in devicetree if individual channels of a hardware monitoring chip
are enabled or not, but a channel name of "NC" won't be it.

I also don't see the need for defining the group dynamically. The
is_visible callback is very well suited for handling optional sysfs
attributes.
