Actually there are several attributes without ABI documentation or at
least the attributes enum is much larger than the objects in the ABI
documentation (in testing/sysfs-class-hwmon).
For humidity there is only input, enable, rated_min and rated_max. Are
some attributes not described for a good reason or should all be
documented? the current humidity_attributes contains:

hwmon_humidity_enable -> documented in sysfs-class-hwmon
hwmon_humidity_input -> documented in sysfs-class-hwmon
hwmon_humidity_label
hwmon_humidity_min
hwmon_humidity_min_hyst
hwmon_humidity_max
hwmon_humidity_max_hyst
hwmon_humidity_alarm
hwmon_humidity_fault
hwmon_humidity_rated_min -> documented in sysfs-class-hwmon
hwmon_humidity_rated_max -> documented in sysfs-class-hwmon

I could not find the temperature counterparts of my new additions
(temp_min_alarm and temp_max_alarm).

Should all be added to sysfs-class-hwmon or am I missing some other
document? I am alright adding the ones I mentioned.
