Yes. Each hardware monitoring device is represented by a hwmon class
device in the kernel. If you have a single LM73 chip in the system, you
get hwmon0 and that's it. If you have several LM73 chips, you must
declare all of them in the device tree.

You are asking the wrong question. There's really nothing specific
about lm73. All hwmon drivers implement a standard sysfs interface, so
it doesn't matter if you have an LM73 or any other temperature sensor
chip.

I already told you that you can use "sensors" to read the temperature
value, there's nothing more I can add, until you tell me why that isn't
suitable for your needs (or that it doesn't work, and you report enough
details about the failure so that we can help you figure it out.)
