Move the ABI attributes documentation from:
	Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.rst

The patche moves th documentation; it doesn't add it.
That should be reflected in the subject.


in order for it to follow the usual ABI documentation. That
allows script/get_abi.pl to properly handle it.

+What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/name
+Description:
+		The chip name.
+		This should be a short, lowercase string, not containing
+		whitespace, dashes, or the wildcard character '*'.
+		This attribute represents the chip name. It is the only
+		mandatory attribute.
+		I2C devices get this attribute created automatically.

The above sentence is obsolete and should be removed. The name attribute is generated
automatically for all non-obsolete APIs.

+What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/update_interval
+Description:
+		The interval at which the chip will update readings.
+		Unit: millisecond
+

+
+		Some devices have a variable update rate or interval.

+Description:
+		Voltage min value.
+
+		Unit: millivolt
+
+		RW

The range of "Y" gets lost in those definitions. They are still retained in
the original file, so maybe tit doesn't matter. It seems a bit
incomplete, though.

+What:		/sys/class/hwmon/hwmonX/inY_lcrit
+Description:
+		Voltage critical min value.
+
+		Unit: millivolt
+
+		RW
+
+		If voltage drops to or below this limit, the system may

+Description:
+		Voltage input value.
+
+		Unit: millivolt
+
+		RO
+
+		Voltage measured on the chip pin.
+
+		Actual voltage depends on the scaling resistors on the
+		motherboard, as recommended in the chip datasheet.
+
+		This varies by chip and by motherboard.
+		Because of this variation, values are generally NOT scaled
+		by the chip driver, and must be done by the application.
+		However, some drivers (notably lm87 and via686a)
+		do scale, because of internal resistors built into a chip.
+		These drivers will output the actual voltage. Rule of
+		thumb: drivers should report the voltage values at the
+		"pins" of the chip.
