OK, good. I'll commit this patch later today then.

By "hangs" you mean it takes several seconds, or does it really stop?
Are you certain that it's the LM75 detection causing problem? We check
for no less than 33 different devices at address 0x4c...

Anyway, most certainly the problem is with word transactions on this
device you have at 0x4c. That won't be easy to work around, but I'll
take a look anyway, maybe I'll have an idea. If I do, I'll ask you -
again - to help with testing. Thanks *a lot* for all the help you are
providing in this respect.
