If you followed the standard sysfs interface (and you really want to),
the code in the lm-sensors-3.0.0 branch should work right away. But
we're nowhere next to a releasable state on this branch, so I'd
suggests that you also add support to the trunk, which should become
lm-sensors 2.10.4 soon.

We don't have a HOWTO, but using a similar change as an example should
make the job easy:

If you have specific questions on the way, just ask and we'll try to
help. I'll be happy to review (and test) your code when you're done.

Thanks,
