Sounds nice.
But I think it can work better without the parameter "max".
Not all of the .store functions have "max" limit, e.g. the thermal
polling_freq, while some of them may need "max" and "min" limit both,
like fan state (0/3).
So why not just get the value and let the .store function judge it? :)
Thanks,
Rui.
