As long as the other file names do not collide with the any of names in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface, it's OK. libsensors will ignore
the extra stuff.

A single device would be fine. In the long run we will probbaly have to
turn the hwmon attributes into class attributes anyway, so they will
get their own naming space.
