+Alarm Support
+-------------
+
+The LM73 features a simple over-temperature alarm mechanism. This
+feature is exposed via the sysfs attributes.
+
+The attributes 'temp1_max_alarm' and 'temp1_min_alarm' are flags
+provided by the LM73 that indicate whether the measured temperature has
+passed the 'temp1_max' and 'temp1_min' thresholds, respectively. These
+values _must_ be read to clear the registers on the LM73.
