hwmon: (lm95245) Make temp2_crit_hyst read-only 

The hysteresis register is shared among both temperature sensors.
This means changing one also affects the other. To avoid confusion,
established way to express this is to make only the first instance writable
and keep all other instances as read-only. Otherwise users may be
confused that changing the second writable value also affects the first,
while it is more obvious that a writable value may affect a different
read-only value.

@ -24,8 +24,12 @@ is given within a range of -127 to +127.875 degrees. Remote temperatures are
given within a range of -127 to +255 degrees. Resolution depends on
temperature input and range.
Each sensor has its own critical limit, but the hysteresis is common to all
two channels.
Each sensor has its own critical limit. Additionally, there is a relative
hysteresis value common to both critical limits. To make life easier to
user-space applications, two absolute values are exported, one for each
channel, but these values are of course linked. Only the local hysteresis
can be set from user-space, and the same delta applies to the remote
hysteresis.
The lm95245 driver can change its update interval to a fixed set of values.
It will round up to the next selectable interval. See the datasheet for exact
