2011-02-16hwmon: (jc42) do not allow writing to locked registersClemens Ladisch
On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is likely to have locked the alarm registers. In that case, all writes through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored. To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files read-only.

2011-02-16hwmon: (jc42) more helpful documentationClemens Ladisch
The documentation lists standard numbers and chip names in excruciating detail, but that's all it does. To help mere mortals in deciding whether to enable this driver, mention what this sensor is for and in which systems it might be found. Also add a link to the actual JC 42.4 specification.
