So I gotta go find a copy of a book I chucked >20 years ago?  :o)

These items do not appear in doc/i2c/sysfs-interface, yet to 
check source context, ad hoc grep & cut in drivers/i2c/chips:

alarm_mask	< beep_mask?  I'd like to have alarm_mask
alarms_in
alarms_temp
analog_out
aout_output	< analog_out ?
die_code
fan1_auto
gpio
gpio_mask
in1_ref
out0_enable
out0_output
temp1_crit_enable
temp1_hyst
temp1_min_hyst
vid		< cpu0_vid?

At this point in time I'm quite happy to document and cross-reference 
current practice, but I don't want to duplicate a work-in-progress.

Whether this is useful to the group I don't know, but I'll chase 
documentation in preference to ad hoc coding, or blindly copy-paste 
what might work -- too much of that has happened already.

yes, it does, thank you.
