As I don't want the abituguru3 driver to create entries in sysfs for sensors 
which aren't there, and as without the table in the driver I cannot be sure 
wether to create an in / temp / fan device for a given sensor address. Last but 
not least doing things this way allows me to always give a proper reading 
without userspace needing to "guess" any further nescesarry calculations to get 
from the reading to an actual measurement.

Hans
