Thanks Jan for stepping in. However it seems that the patch isn't OK, not even after Guenter's fix. chk_ucode_version() assumes that pdev->id is a CPU number, not a physical CPU ID, so currently the microcode checks are done on random CPUs. Probably the microcode check should be moved from coretemp_probe() to get_core_online(), which makes sense anyway, as there is little point in creating a platform device if it's not going to work. I have the following fix: From: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: hwmon: (coretemp) Fixup platform device ID change With recent change "hwmon: (coretemp) don't use kernel assigned CPU number as platform device ID", the microcode check is now running on random CPU. Fix that by checking the microcode before creating the platform device rather than at probe time. Also avoid calling TO_PHYS_ID(cpu) twice in the same function, it's expensive.
