The driver may simply not implement correct synchronization methods. It may be necessary to call some ACPI / WMI methods before and after accessing the sensors to avoid resource conflicts. As is written in the documentation: > The more frequently the WMI interface is polled the greater the potential for > this to happen. I am also not sure if the driver implements correct locking behavior kernel-wise. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
