Clemens Ladisch 2c6315da6a hwmon: (jc42) do not allow writing to locked registers
On systems where the temperature sensor is actually used, the BIOS is
likely to have locked the alarm registers.  In that case, all writes
through the corresponding sysfs files would be silently ignored.

To prevent this, detect the locks and make the affected sysfs files
read-only.

Clemens Ladisch d5622f5b6c hwmon: (jc42) more helpful documentation
The documentation lists standard numbers and chip names in excruciating
detail, but that's all it does.  To help mere mortals in deciding
whether to enable this driver, mention what this sensor is for and in
which systems it might be found.

Also add a link to the actual JC 42.4 specification.
