This bug needs to be fixed because

1) It doesn't affect Windows
2) Average people will never know how to deal with issue
3) I cannot ask my motherboard vendor (ASUS) to fix this issue in BIOS because
they don't provide support for Linux - they barely provide any support at all.

OoB experience of Linux users should not be "I don't get any sensors output,
how to fix that?" Most users don't even know what and how to Google. They don't
know about dmesg either.

That's an effing horrible attitude.

I'm CC'ing Linus because I absolutely hate what's going on.
