I see 3 possibilities: 1* We display the sensor type in "sensors". This is what we do for the IT87xxF devices. When the sensor type is "disabled", the user should realize that the reading is meaningless. 2* We change sensors to not even display tempN if that sensor is disabled. This is probably even more user-friendly. 3* We change the w83793 driver to not present the temperature value when the sensor is disabled. A bit more difficult, but doable. There's something of this kind done in the f71805f hardware monitoring driver. A combination of 2 and 3 sounds best to me. Gong, what do you think? Can you please propose patches?
