Can you clarify that with a ls -l of the "before" and "after"?
Also, does it change anything visible to lmsensors users (such as the
sensor/adapter name or address)? If so, please post a "before" and
"after"...

I am not sure this is OK or not, it *is* an userspace ABI break. I am
not really opposed to it, as long as it is done properly. Let's see
what our subsystem maintainers think of it.
That said: the patch is still incomplete, because this driver has
documentation that also needs to be updated...
Please update Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt with the changes
to the thinkpad_hwmon sensor interfaces. Search for "hwmon" on that
text, that should locate everything.
Also, please bump "#define TPACPI_SYSFS_VERSION 0x020700" to 0x020800 in
drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c, and update the interface changelog
table at the end of Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt.
(that assumes the change is not a major ABI break, please reply with
that "ls -l" I asked above: we might need to bump that
TPACPI_SYSFS_VERSION to 0x030000, instead...)
