I vote against any acronyms that are not very well known.  Even knowing
that it's supposed to be "digital temperature <something>", I can't
figure out what the <something> is.  Not having the context that it
relates to temperature, I wouldn't have a clue what "dtt" is.

hwmon is concise and fairly obvious, and unlike "temp" could be
meaningfully used with chips that also monitor voltages, fan speeds, etc.
