That is the case for many chips. The most common solution is to support
the attribute for all channels and make only the first channel writeable.
When doing that, add a note to the documentation indicating that writing
one attribute affects all attributes.

temp_crit_hyst doesn't help because it is non-standard and the "sensors"
command won't see it.
