NVMe drives support host controlled thermal management feature as optional.
The thermal management temperature are different from the temperature threshold.
So add functionality to set the throttling temperature values.

I think actually the suggested attributes are not met with the
throttling temperatures as below.
temp[1-*]_emergency: Temperature emergency max value, for chips
supporting more than two upper temperature limits.
temp[1-*]_lcrit: Temperature critical min value, typically lower than
corresponding temp_min values.
Thermal Management Temperature 1 (TMT1): This field specifies the
temperature, in Kelvins, when the controller begins to transition to
lower power active power states or performs vendor specific thermal
management actions while minimizing the impact on performance (e.g.,
light throttling) in order to attempt to reduce the Composite Temperature.
Thermal Management Temperature 2 (TMT2): This field specifies the
temperature, in Kelvins, when the controller begins to transition to
lower power active power states or perform vendor specific thermal
management actions regardless of the impact on performance (e.g., heavy
throttling) in order to attempt to reduce the Composite Temperature.
NACK. There are several existing limit attributes which can be used
for this purpose. I would suggest to use EMERGENCY and LCRIT attributes.
Furthermore, one can not just extend the hwmon ABI without discussion,
much less as part of a patch introducing its use. Any attribute introduced
into the ABI must benefit more than one device, and a matching
implementation in the sensors command and the lm-sensors library is
expected.
Sorry I am not sure about the hwmon ABI situation but if possible could
you please consider or discuss to extend the attributes from this patch
review since the suggested attributes seem difficult to use instead? (Is
it difficult?)
By the way I have already created the lm-sensors pull request below.
