One thing to check is that "make oldconfig" can actually change the
configuration if things were moved behind a new top-level configuration
parameter or such. I'm not saying that's the case here, but it's possible
that things like the i2c changes might have made you inadvertedly changed
some config option.

It's a regression, although I'd like to know more about your cases. It's
just hard to tell what happened: was it a i2c/hwmon driver that got
broken, or is it some sysfs file that got buggered, or what..
For example, "dmesg" output before and after (preferably as a diff between
the two), and what modules you had loaded in the working/nonworking case.
