No, I don't know that it does. Please avoid 1) calling me police and
2) claiming that taking away entire devices is okay (when it probably
is not).

And no, I don't know if anyone uses hwmon ABI on affected N900. [And
how many other devices are affected, '-' seems to be quite common
character in kernel names.] If I knew about concrete breakage, we'd
have very different discussion.

Well, so first things first. What about fixing libsensors to allow '-'
and '*' in the name?
