No need to update anything, we haven't changed anything serious these
last weeks.

This at least proves that the problem is driver independant, and lies
either in i2c-core, i2c-proc or libsensors.

I am offline now, will take a look later. What would be interesting to
see is which differences exit between ck1 and ck2 patches, because I
remember that it was working before you updated to ck2.

Thanks a lot for your help.
