How is it fixed? ACPI and sensors should be able to live together. If I can't have one without the other, in my opinion, this is a blind spot for both projects. Has anyone brought this up to the kernel ACPI developers to see if they can "unhide" or "expose" the hardware monitoring?
As for this laptop, thermal regulating is actually controlled in the hardware: neither ACPI nor sensors/i2c is needed to regulate temperature in the OS level. I just find it odd that i2c/lm_sensors claims to support this chipset yet the answer I get is that the kernel ACPI "hides" them. I'll bring this up to the kernel ACPI developers, but I would like to see this issue resolved. Again, I am willing to test out whatever code necessary to help this process.
