[lm-sensors] [Patch] libsensors: Ignore directories and symlinks in

[Andre Prendel <andre_prendel@gmx.de>]

Sysfs directory of the hwmon devices contains directories and symlinks.

Here is the output on my Thinkpad:

  andre@ubuntu:/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device$ ls -l
  insgesamt 0
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 2009-02-04 19:44 bus -> ../../../bus/platform

  [...]

IMO we can ignore them looking for subfeatures (in
sensors_read_dynamic_chip()), can't we?

I assume there are no hidden files in the directory, right? That's the
reason why I have removed this from condition.

Any comments or improvements?
