Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but the nvme hardware
monitoring driver is at drivers/nvme/host/hwmon.c, the SATA hardware
monitoring driver is at drivers/hwmon/drivetemp.c.

The limits on nvme drives are configurable.

root@...ver:/sys/class/hwmon# sensors nvme-pci-0100
nvme-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +40.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +84.8°C)
                        (crit = +84.8°C)
Sensor 1:     +40.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)
Sensor 2:     +43.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

root@...ver:/sys/class/hwmon# echo 0 > hwmon1/temp2_min
root@...ver:/sys/class/hwmon# echo 100000 > hwmon1/temp2_max

root@...ver:/sys/class/hwmon# sensors nvme-pci-0100
nvme-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
Composite:    +38.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +84.8°C)
                        (crit = +84.8°C)
Sensor 1:     +38.9°C  (low  =  -0.1°C, high = +99.8°C)
Sensor 2:     +42.9°C  (low  = -273.1°C, high = +65261.8°C)

If you dislike the defaults, just configure whatever you think is
appropriate for your system.

Thanks,
