Another way to solve it _could_ be to just make up a device link if
something generic is available so that sensors doesn't trip over it
in the first place but I don't know if that's a good option. You
might.
This also works for me and, if correct, is ofcourse better than the
CONFIG option. Wants a comment from the thermal_zone side (for which
Zhang Rui seems the correct CC?) though.

Subject: [PATCH] thermal: link the virtual/thermal/thermal_zoneN device for hwmon
2.6.26-rc gained a hwmon interface to the ACPI Thermal Zone
driver which unfortunately breaks lm-sensors 2 userspace and
renders all other (subsequent) hwmon sensors inoperable also.
Many systems, current slackware systems among them, are still
using lm-sensors 2 and would be affected.
The problem is userspace tripping over an absent "device"
link in the ACPI Thermal Zone sysfs /sys/class/hwmon/hwmonN
directory. This just adds the virtual "thermal/thermal_zoneN"
device as a device backlink which satisfies lm-sensors again.
Tested and looks fairly obvious, but this wants comment from
a thermal_zone person, to confirm/deny that this is a proper
device pointer to use here for one.
