This attribute is defined as read-only by all drivers that support it.

It seems that the access rights and description for this attribute were
copied from the intrusionY_alarm, which has indeed RW rights and must be
cleared by the user.

These are the modules that currently use this attribute:
- adt7x10
- i5500_temp
- jc42
- lm83
- lm90
- lm95245
- max31760
- max6621
- mc34vr500
- tmp401
- tmp464
- tmp513

Fix the attribute description and make it read-only.
