This must be temp1_input. "temp0" is not a standard attribute,
and without standard attributes the driver is pointless.

I am not going to accept this. The groups pointer is only supposed
to be used for non-standard attributes.

Anyway, it is pointless to have both a thermal driver and a hwmon
driver. The hwmon driver can register the thermal node if the _info
interface is used properly, and the thermal driver can register
a hwmon interface using [devm_]thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs(). If you don't
want to use the _info API in the hwmon driver, please drop this
driver and register the hwmon interface from the thermal driver.

Thanks,
Guenter
