Hysteresis would be if THIGH would be reset if the temperature goes below Tmin, but that is not the case. It also looks like the alert bit should be reset by software, by writing 1 into bit 3 of the configuration register. Given that, I don't think we should change anything. One option, though, might be to implement alert and/or interrupt support and handle the alert condition as expected, ie send an event to user space and reset the alert bit in the interrupt/alert handler.

Currently, the lm73 driver has a temp1_max and a temp1_min. These make sense when using temp1_max_alarm and temp1_min_alarm to determine if the temperature has exceeded the chosen limits. However, when using the ALARM output pin on the lm73 chip, the lower temperature value behaves as a hysteresis value. Rather than the low value triggering a "too cold" alarm, it is the point at which an existing high temperature alarm is turned off. Add a sysfs entry for temp1_max_hyst, tied to the same register as temp1_min.
