Ok, we must have a bug :-) I'm on holiday for a while, I can look when
I'm back.
However, I would generally advise against messing around with the
sensors directly from userspace which is what I believe lm-sensors does.
It has no real understanding of what those sensors are about, where they
are located etc... and might also conflict with the use of those sensors
by the kernel windfarm drivers.
If you want to look at the values, windfarm does expose them to
userspace in sysfs, you might want to take a peek.
Cheers,
Ben.
