I'm wondering if these functions need to be so huge.  Couldn't you do

#define set_temp_para(name, reg)\
static ssize_t set_##name(\
		struct device *dev,\
		struct device_attribute *attr,\
		const char *buf,\
		size_t count)\
{\
	return set_helper(dev, attr, buf, count, &dev->name);\
}

And then do all the real work in a common function?  Rather than
expanding tens of copies of the same thing?

Also, the checkpatch warning

WARNING: consider using strict_strtol in preference to simple_strtol
#381: FILE: drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c:228:
+       int val = simple_strtol(buf, NULL, 10); \

is valid.  The problem with simple_strtol() is that it will treat input
of the form "43foo" as "43".  Even though the input was invalid.  A
minor thing, but easily fixed too.
