As you are adding new sysfs files, you have to add the proper entries in
the Documentation/ABI/ directory as well.

Also, sysfs is ONE VALUE PER FILE, please do not do what you are doing
here with multiple values per a single file, that is not acceptable.

I would recommend working with the hwmon developers to develop a
standard API for these types of devices, and use it instead of creating
your own.
