I'm not a programmer let alone a person who understand the innards of the Linux
kernel to even attempt to fix the issue, not to mention that:

Maybe we have ... kernel developers who can do that instead, for instance
lm-sensors maintainers. I don't know. I'm confused. I did my best to report the
issue. Meanwhile I'll continue to use the hack since I want to monitor my HW
right now - not a few years later when someone finally ventures to scratch the
itch. Thank you very much ;-)
