Re: [PATCH 2.6.26-rc] ACPI Thermal Zone driver breaks lm-sensors 2userspace

[Len Brown]

> Len suggested the default be hwmon support enabled

I think you were right and I was wrong on that part,
lets default =n.

What is new here is thermal I/F to hwmon.
Distros what want it will know they need libsensors 2.10.7
or libsensors 3.x before they turn it on.

libsensors <= 2.10.6 users who upgrade their kernel to 2.6.26
without distro support will get no bad surprises.

The down-side is simply that we are being less aggressive about
exposing these temperature readings via hwmon.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.
