hwmon: (lm95245) Make temp2_crit_hyst read-only
The hysteresis register is shared among both temperature sensors.
This means changing one also affects the other. To avoid confusion,
established way to express this is to make only the first instance writable
and keep all other instances as read-only. Otherwise users may be
confused that changing the second writable value also affects the first,
while it is more obvious that a writable value may affect a different
read-only value.

Only the local hysteresis +can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote +hysteresis. The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values. It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact |
