A proposed patch was posted by Guenter, and tested and confirmed that it fixes the issue by myself,
at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/284466fd-39e8-419e-8af5-41dbabb788af@roeck-us.net/ . Wolfram
suggested this patch was acceptable at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/aAtEydwUfVcE0XeA@shikoro/
but that's the last he chimed in on this issue.
