My guess exactly. So I updated our sensors-detect script accordingly, it
won't try to differenciate between LM82 and LM83 anymore. I do not plan
to update the lm83 driver for now, as it seems that the LM82 is already
supported by the driver, it would only be a matter of updating the
documentation to say so. I'll try to get additional information before I
do.

Thanks for the report!
