The ACPI thermal zones in /sys/class/thermal do not. Would it be possible to add it there? When these thermal zones are exported to libsensors, the temperatures appear with their default labels (temp1, temp2, etc...) Users sometimes wonder what these temperatures correspond to. The ACPI names are short and not always clear, but sometimes they could help figuring out what the temperature corresponds to. -- Jean Delvare
