Basically, you use whole hwmon infrastructure on your own risk. The conflict
you see was added exactly to prevent users from shooting their feet. Without
this check hwmon will try to use SMBUS and devices connected to it (most
probably temperature control IC), thus making ACPI to read garbage from these
same devices.
If ACPI reads critical temperature (and it often does in such situation), it
will simply shut machine down.
