Sorry for the slow response and thanks for the review, I now have a local
version ready with all issues fixed except for one:

This only is true if the AL/TH bit in the config register is 1. I choose to
ignore this non default mode for now. I think it indeed makes sense to
conditionally add temp1_max_hyst and temp2_max_hyst (read-only) when this is
the case, but I'm not sure if its worth the additional code, what do you think?

They are I've ordered a few samples and adding support for this chip is on my
to do list.
