Good pointer! I should be able to replicate that for the LTD (@0) and
RTDs (1, 2, 3) in a similar way.

Following the example from tmp421, this could then be like this:

i2c {
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;

    nct7802@28 {
        compatible = "nuvoton,nct7802";
        reg = <0x28>;
        #address-cells = <1>;
        #size-cells = <0>;

        /* LTD */
        input@0 {
            reg = <0x0>;
            status = "okay";
            /* No "mode" attribute here*/
            label = "local temp";
        };

        /* RTD1 */
        input@1 {
            reg = <0x1>;
            mode = <0x2>; /* 3904 transistor */
            label = "voltage mode";
        };

        input@2 {
            reg = <0x2>;
            mode = <0x4>; /* thermistor */
            label = "thermistor mode";
        };

        /* RTD3 */
        input@3 {
            reg = <0x3>;
            mode = <0x3>; /* thermal diode */
            label = "current mode";
            status = "disabled";
        };
    };
};

I noticed that "nct7802_temp_is_visible" only allows the temperature
sensor to be visible for current and thermistor but not voltage. Is
that right?

Before I go and change the driver further, I'd like to make sure we
agree on the interface.

Also: Is nct7802_temp_is_visible called again after temp_type_store
was called (I didn't try it)?

Thanks
Oskar.
