Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface already states:

"
All entries (except name) are optional, and should only be created in a
given driver if the chip has the feature.
"

I do not see the point of clarifying this for individual attributes,
especially since that might create the impression that it would possibly
not apply to other attributes (for those not reading the above
documentation).
