This attribute is defined as read-only by all drivers that support it. It seems that the access rights and description for this attribute were copied from the intrusionY_alarm, which has indeed RW rights and must be cleared by the user. These are the modules that currently use this attribute: - adt7x10 - i5500_temp - jc42 - lm83 - lm90 - lm95245 - max31760 - max6621 - mc34vr500 - tmp401 - tmp464 - tmp513 Fix the attribute description and make it read-only.
