It would be nice to also have

        HWMON_T_MAX | HWMON_T_MIN |
        HWMON_T_CRIT | HWMON_T_LCRIT |

which the PHY probably has.

At gives some degree of context. A temperature on its own of say 65C
is hard to interpret. Is it too hot?  But if we have a critical of 85C
and a max of 95C we know we are O.K.
