    hwmon: (adt7475) document mapping of sysfs entries to inputs · f1af9321

    As per the usual standard with hwmon drivers the mapping to sysfs
    entries follows the register map of the device e.g. in0_input
    corresponds to the register 0x20, in1_input corresponds to 0x21 etc.
    
    Hardware designers tend to work with input pins instead of registers
    which is where things start to get confusing. A hardware designer might
    say "the 1.5V rail is connected to the VCCP pin" leaving the software
    designer none the wiser as to which of the sysfs entries should be
    associated with the label "1.5V".
    
    Try to bridge the gap by documenting the mapping of sysfs entries to
    the corresponding pins. This should allow someone to create a
    configuration file or other mapping without needing to dive into the
    code and ADT datasheets.
