Yes, and by that I meant the files inside /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0. The 
race can be triggered by reading both tsi and adc values (in70-73, 
in4-6) concurrently, while verifying that the values are as expected. 

Using a simple test script that read the values continuously I got 
incorrect readings once every few minutes.

Not sure if I have resources to do a proper fix at this point.
