Correct, I sent exactly the same patch to the the lm-sensors list and
Greg KH yesterday:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2006-May/016213.html

So this one is
Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Note that the section mismatch is harmless here (we have a non-__init
function sandwiched between two __init functions) but nevertheless this
kind of warning is never welcome in a final kernel release so let's get
the fix merged now.

Andrew, can you please push this to Linus?

Thanks,
